Simply stunning. I enjoyed this book so much. It was written with beautiful, contemplative prose and brought rich, varying points of view while weaving together a lovely and satisfying story. The thoughts of the characters were raw and real and highlighted the depths of humanity. And I thoroughly enjoyed the surprise and the twist at the end.
