This story started slow but was always haunting. I love character driven stories. If you like big plots and thrills, this isn’t the book for you. But you like lyrical, beautiful lines that sneak up on you and make you cry; if you like words that create images better than on a movie screen; if you like the slow burn of a story unraveling before you with depth and truth and dancing words, you will enjoy this story. I loved it. Thank you for reminding me how lovely a novel can be. 🩷 And thank you too for telling a real love story with every kind of love. Just beautiful.
