This is one I’ll need to sit with for a while. My mind is reeling. But I am certainly awash with a desperate relief to wake up from this book into our own reality. My family around me, and the light turning on when I flick the switch. I was at once absorbed and grounded by this book. Mandel is phenomenal.
