sometimes i swear the universe gives you things you need sometimes, and this book feels like it was much needed for me (i found it searching through available ebooks on Libby)
this is a novel about trauma, family, friends, myth/spirituality, history, and healing - especially about healing, even if that healing takes time (and a lot of it) or support from those around you
it is heavy in some ways, but light in other distinct ways - would definitely recommend
