I’ve been meaning to read more books like this, the kind of literature that makes you feel that much more connected to your inner solitude. That makes you feel human in the best sense of the word – introspective & lulled & cautiously hopeful about all the luminous stories contained in the often disregarded edges of our lives. No intensely dramatic plot or rushed pacing. No yearning to be more than it is. Just a life given voice and a story given life.

Many thanks to Abrams & Shelf Awareness for sending me an ARC!
