Lovely descriptive story about migration, loneliness and coming of age. I really wanted to know what happened to Eilish, and still enjoyed the ending. Some parts made you a little frustrated at the main character and there was a lot of focus on small details. I generally enjoy this in a novel, as it helps me to feel connected to the environment and characters. Solid 4*
