A marvelous book – I started reading more slowly to make it last. Honest and unflinching about relationships, death, and the power of story within communities, this novel reminded me of the depth of John Irving’s “Cider House Rules,” and the emotional clarity of Doris Lessing. I found it completely enjoyable.

I am a writer, poet, teacher who loves the natural world, photographing insects, and spending times with dogs. You can see some of my photos of insects on bugguide.net and my writing and photos of insects and dogs on my blog and my Substack newsletter. I'd rather laugh than not, and rather dance than almost anything else.
