thank you so much to @goodreads and @bookmarked for the early review copy! this is out september 10th
this is a story about how grief unroots us from everything that was holding us into place, how that untethering eventually becomes seeking, and that seeking can lead us to a truer version of ourselves than we ever thought possible. how sometimes it’s the coming undone that actually saves us
this story drew me in right away. i love love love a story about a main character feeling unsettled who ends up seeking a deeper connection to their ancestors in order to find a sense of settling and that’s exactly what this novel is about. the magical realism aspects are light and beautiful
Moderate: Grief
