Just so good. The characters feel so real. I want more of Lila’s inner monologue though. Also post WW2 is my time period of interest so the mentions of politics I enjoyed especially. I saved so many quotes from this I don’t even know where to begin. So much of Lenú’s thoughts are painfully relatable.

But from Lila - “There, for the entire evening, she had felt irrefutably lost.”
