There is a refreshing joy in Berry's very specific desire that refuses to map onto any set script. Every other character is twisted into knots trying to understand Berry's choices, but the desire to continue to sing in the treble tones of a choir boy remains. I love that the author inscribed the final words of the book when she signed it.
