  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

The written word is breathtaking. While it’s prose, it’s as though poetry in the mind. The characters were quirky and strange and beautiful and a little scary. One wants to sit with each of them, watching him and her smoke and rock and consider the day. The love story was sweet and a refreshing bit in the middle of a mysterious story. 
Deserves all the awards. Beautiful.
