Solid four star book that combines the deep past with a more recent past and perhaps a present
The formatting of the book is what makes it most enjoyable as it's broken in three parts and especially in the third where it gets almost or exactly poetry like is beautiful
All the people in the story have such a depth to them that you wonder where the story is leading the entire time
And as it is a letter to the mother also pulls me in
