I found it a bit too slow at the end, otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Reading this book feels like missing, or thinking fondly about, your loved ones. It’s a slow-paced look at families found and born, and what kind of legacy we choose to leave. It’s also about Lovecraftian monsters, though having never read any Lovecraft I’m guessing many references went over my head. Still, it was a great winter read.
