What a beautiful masterpiece! The narrative is so delicately composed, the different characters each refracting Eliza’s life. 
There are so many aspects to love about this book, the subtle nods to literary-historical scholarship, Emily Brontë’s poetry, the wondrous prose, the reflections on life, death and time… 
This is a book for the ages, thank you Anjet Daanje for crafting this novel.
