Slow to start, impossible to put down
This arrived at exactly the right point in my reading year. The author trusts the reader, which is rarer than it should be. I'm hoping the author writes more like this.

A confident, controlled voice
I don't usually reach for this genre, which made the experience even better. The imagery is specific rather than decorative, and it sticks. My only quibble: a few threads resolve a touch too neatly. It sparked our longest discussion of the year.

A comfort read with real teeth
This was my commute book and it made me miss my stop twice. The pacing is deliberate — scenes are allowed to breathe, and that patience pays off. Easily a highlight of my reading list.

Tender and unsentimental at once
I picked this up for our monthly circle and finished it long before the meeting. The author trusts the reader, which is rarer than it should be. Worth every hour.

Genuinely moving in the final act

A rare book that earns its ending
