A solid book that explores the central theme through different lenses and characters each chapter.

The opening chapter has a great tone and sets up a great mystery, it's a shame that the whole body of the book then departs from that and seems a bit too loosely connected for my liking. Potentially less would have been more in this scenario.

However I think if this book resonates with you emotionally you will really appreciate it.
