This book was a phenomenal read. Unlike anything else I have come across. A little confusing at first because there’s like 3 different stories throughout the book, but even though the stories are different, the book still progresses through time, and it still feels like there’s a general cohesiveness to the overall narrative. I’m just saying this is a story, told through generations, that I was not exposed to in my Bay Area education. It’s worth a read.
