All the stars, one of the top books of 2024 for me.
This is an epic literary crime novel that is a beautifully bleak and yet hopeful character driven study of trauma, loss, regret, searching for the truth and the power of memory.
Like no other crime/mystery novel I've read.
A must read, even at 584 pages, it flies by and not a word is wasted and so much sits in the space between words. I dare you not to get wholly invested and caught up in this huge, sweeping and utterly absorbing story.
