The middle section is extraordinary
I picked this up for our monthly circle and finished it long before the meeting. What impressed me most was the restraint: nothing is over-explained. I've already gifted a copy.

I bought two more copies
This arrived at exactly the right point in my reading year. There's a warmth running underneath even the harder chapters. It has earned a permanent shelf spot.

Deserves a wider readership
I don't usually reach for this genre, which made the experience even better. It balances big ideas with small, ordinary moments remarkably well. A slightly tighter edit in the second act would have made it perfect. A strong recommendation from me.

Ambitious and mostly successful
This was my commute book and it made me miss my stop twice. What impressed me most was the restraint: nothing is over-explained. I'll be rereading this one.
