A Shakespearean-esque drama worthy of "what tangled webs we weave." But, not a tragic ending. I found this book poetic and incisive in its language, complex in its relationships and ultimately hopeful. I loved the structure of rotating narrative perspectives by part, unwinding further into the past with every character's story. This is a book I'll be thinking about for a long time. Audiobook narration is excellent.
