Beautifully written, thought-provoking novel. I listened to the book and found it hard to follow. I imagine it's better to read it in written form. The book moves between different time periods and the detail in the mundane is what makes the novel captivating and worth chewing on. For those interested, be ready to reflect and pay close attention to the relationship between choice, forms of love, sense of self, and the politically tense historical time frame in which the story takes place.
