This book’s content was difficult to consume. But the writing of it was very accessible. I’m not sure how to put into words the weight behind Dana’s story as she travels into the past. It’s layered with lots of meaning and I reckon that meaning would be different for every reader. It’s one the best written books I’ve ever read.
