This book puts the “literary” in literary fiction. Beautifully written turns of phrases throughout. So well done. Every story arc completes itself nicely. I looked forward to reading every new chapter. What an intricate story with such deep characters. I really enjoyed this book. I can see myself rereading this someday. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a deep read.
