Wow wow wow. This is so good and so much. Parental abandonment is brutal—to follow that up with the death of your remaining parent and a fraught relationship with your step-mother is almost unimaginable.
The seismology metaphor woven through the book and the grappling with privilege, oppression, and the messy relationship between the two—all of it is just so good.
