Lovely book, just deducting points for the ending which felt a little “tied with a bow”, in the way that the grief arc plays out, but that’s over critical. I genuinely loved the book and didn’t want it to end. The vibrancy of the setting and culture really added to the story, and left me wanting to travel to the places that were so artfully depicted. Beautiful, heart wrenching, sensitive read.
