Barbara’s books always wrap up too fast. She does such a great job creating these characters with complex ideas and clear world views and pins them up so quickly at the end. Other than that I did like this book! A lot of great quotes that made me stop and smile or cry. My favorite line was “I looked through the bones into the garden.” Good imagery in that moment.
