"Finally got through this one! Sweeping, beautiful, hopeful, sprinkled in some magic realism for fans of the genre. So well-written and so worthy of praise! Shortlisted for 2025 Booker Prizes."

"Tipping into the vertiginous thrill of exceptional storytelling and characterization… one of those states where you almost forget you’re even reading. Poetic, hypnotic, and deeply emotional. "

“Last year when my grandma fell and broke her hip she couldn't paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa started doing it for her, even after he fell and broke his hip, too. For me, that's love.”
