I will say the start of this book is slow, and I did have to tough it out a bit but I am so glad I did. This is an excellent story about owning your place in the world and the decisions you make. It very much reads like a play (which makes sense given the author's background) and I love it. If it's caught your eye it's certainly worth a try.
