I have no idea how to rate this book. It was unsettling and compelling and fascinating. It answered so few of the questions I had. It was beautiful and sad. I wasn’t sure what was happening a lot of time and yet I was very invested. I will probably think about it for a long, long time. But I could not say I enjoyed it. I might need to let it sit before I really know what I think. And that says a lot all on its own— how many books feel so beyond definition or containment?
