A book that explores many lives and the way our souls experience time. I loved the author's imagery and beautiful use of language. The story was reflective, and relevant to the time we are living now (with subtle references to COVID-19). I had trouble focusing and piecing some parts of the story together, especially with the climax. Definitely want to re-read to fully grasp this story!
