This is one of my new favorite books of all time. It is a book I genuinely think everyone should read. Firstly I was partial to it because it takes place in a fictionalized town off the coast of Charleston - in the sea islands on Wadmalaw. And secondly it’s magical realism.
This books is so easily read and it’s a book that handles so many kinds of grief as well as the importance of found family and love. There is an air of mystery and deep line of love. It’s human and gives you hope. At the end of the day it is a book centered on love that left me in tear.
This book will stay with me for the remainder of my life for sure.
