It is an intense story about humanness built around the deep importance of conservation. Learning to trust and grow after extreme trauma is also a centerpiece of this book.
You will probably guess part of the ending, but it still has elements that will surprise you and make you weep. Again, incredibly well written. Will leave you aching and hopeful. What a wild ride.

That being said, the rest of this book was phenomenal. I read Migrations by this author first, and both live up to the “hype”. I like how she uses flashbacks in her stories to keep a mystery.
I caught on to the twist early on, but it has nothing to do with the writing. I think the writing actually had me second guessing my thoughts on multiple occasions.
If you are planning on reading this, check content warnings prior!

I could not suspend my disbelief when it came to the Chief of Police because of how he was described.
With all mysteries, you know that there is a twist coming but this one was a total surprise.
