beautiful, poetic, wrenching, relatable, unexpected, prescient. one of my favorite reads in a long while. an incredible breadth of a story, and I felt inside the heads and hearts of each of the characters.
My only disappointment was I felt the epilogue was a little predictable and I wanted more from it, but not sure what.
