This book was gorgeously religious. A deeply personal and yet very distanced conversation about metaphysical identity, trauma, and faith. The writing itself swayed in tune with story and it was a pleasure to read. I did find it abstract to the point of confusion at some times, but I see that more as a disconnect between perspectives than a lack of talent.
