One of my favorite books of the year so far! I loved the multiple petspectives, the non-linear storytelling, and the sympathy with which the author explores the experiences of her protagonists. Without moralizing, the author shows how traces of the past continue to show up in the present. (For those interested, there is an English translstion available: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/b3d72703-80d6-4efa-8940-1d763ba82067)
