A brilliant read about life, family, friends, colleagues, and work.
It takes a while to get into what the book is about, there are times there are entirely too many words, and I wish the Mackenzie situation was bigger and didn't just happen at the end.
In this two person POV narrative, we follow Imogen & Harri in a phase of their careers where change and adversity exhausts and rewards them.
For those that like contemporary fiction, or love & resent their job.
