This book is definitely a slow-burn. Especially at the beginning as due to the time-switching, it can take time to join the current of the main story and characters.
However, I found it to be a beautiful book. I love the way Erdrich treats her characters so sensitively and without judgement, and this paired so well with Father Modeste's philosophy of love and refusal to pass judgement on his congregation.
My favourite part of the book wasthe Modeste/Agnes's death. I found it so beautiful that they took ownership of their own death and did it exactly the way they wanted.
Overall it shows the beauty and importance of human connection and the love that can be formed between anyone, when people have an open heart and less judgement.
