A message of transformation and hope in a world on the edge of collapse... Exactly what my heart needed to read this week. I wish this novella was a novel, simply because I want to read more of the lush and lyrical prose and spend more time with the characters. This is definitely something I'll go back to and read many times over. Absolutely perfect, from the unique characterization of the narrator to the gentle, just-enough world building.
