This was an interesting look at the relationship between a father and a daughter when he is sick. He is a doctor, she is getting a phd in astronomy. There are other siblings, whose relationship we also explore to a smaller extent. It is written in short of flashes of their lives, nobody’s name is mentioned, they are the Father, the First Born, the Twins, etc. i found the way it was written very interesting and effective. Also the way the science was connected to the story, even if it was a bit forced sometimes. Overall, very interesting and worth a try.
