There were passages I read over and over again. This is a story that takes decades to tell, and there was a constant push-pull for me: both to getting it to the conclusion I knew must be coming and to slow it down so that the story would continue. I was desperate to know how it ends but at the same time, the story was so good that I never wanted it to end. I would love to see a sequel come out of this.
