What an intriguing concept carefully crafted into a story that made me feel like I know this valley and its inhabitants

The book explores themes like isolation, shyness, regret and societal expectations through a coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of a quite classist society.

I'll be sure to read whatever the author decides to read next
