A journey of self discovery where the characters must find their place in the world independent of outside pressures and expectations. It was fun to revisit these characters.

challenging dark sad tense fast-paced

This is my first Elizabeth Stout book and I did not realize that it connected to her other stories. You can read it independently without feeling lost. The author does a wonderful job of bringing you in with clear, simple prose that flow smoothly across the page.
This is very much a pandemic story that captured the unknowns we all experienced in 2020.
I appreciated that the author did not shy away from historical events, but it hit really close to home.
It might have been too soon for me to read this.
