This book slowly unravels two storylines that converge at the end. The characters are likable yet flawed, and the narrator clearly regards herself poorly while revealing her uncanny ability to choose fateful interactions. The contrast between the two stories is stark but codependent. Pratchett skillfully develops complex characters and complicated relationships in this tale of heartache, family, and a search for peace

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
I’m still deciding how I feel about this book. But Meryl Streep as audiobook narrator = perfection. Chef’s kiss.
