sometimes i swear the universe gives you things you need sometimes, and this book feels like it was much needed for me (i found it searching through available ebooks on Libby)

this is a novel about trauma, family, friends, myth/spirituality, history, and healing - especially about healing, even if that healing takes time (and a lot of it) or support from those around you

it is heavy in some ways, but light in other distinct ways - would definitely recommend

I'm not really sure how to review this book, other than to say that it was beautiful. I could taste the flavours, smell the food cooking, feel the sun and the wind as I read... what an amazing read.
