One of my favorite books of all time. A thoughtful coming-of-age and coming-to-self story with nuanced reflection on identity, culture (and its appropriation), love (romance, friendship, family), and art, written in gorgeous, shimmering prose. This book makes me want to dive into the world and discover something about myself.
