I’ve just devoured this book. Loved it!
Each chapter is narrated by a character within the story. Sometimes picking up where another left the telling of their interaction, sometimes just recalling other events.
The people are foreign to me - Islamic immigrant family to the USA, Iraq War veteran, small business proprietors, their partners and their offspring.
Highly recommended.
