I'm about 100 pages in and loving it! But it's definitely going to take me the whole month to read it. For awhile I thought it was just short stories and wondered why it was called a novel, haha. But then I saw the other sections and I'm assuming things get tied together eventually?
I love it too! I'm half way through that second part and yes, some of the characters interact. They are all connected in their love or interest of trees. Having a hard time wanting to put this book down. Excited to see how it all comes full circle. Lots of people have seen the book, gotten mystical, and started talking about how much they loved it. Great pick!
So far, so intense! But I love the writer's gentle style. I agree with Abrona, it's tough to put down for sure!
Hope to see you all tomorrow night! We'll be meeting outside at 7pm. Join us even if you haven't finished... we'll try not to be too spoiler-y if lots of people haven't read the whole thing. It's a long book!
