I’ve never read anything quite like this, and I’m better now that I have. What a quietly fantastic book. You notice details and come to realizations right along with the main character, and you feel lighter, smarter, and more yourself for having done so. This is for everyone who needs to learn that reinvention can be a slow, gentle process, that still somehow feels like flying.
