Reseñas

Mystery with unanswered metaphysical questions but satisfying emotional denouement

To list the questions I have after reading the book would be to spoil some of its premise and a large part of its conclusion, so I'll just say that the inconsistencies did not ruin the way the story unfolded for me. I found the way the author inserted flashbacks from people talking to the main character about events from her early childhood to be quite clever. There's a bit of love story, and there's lots of passionate poetry about maps and how they are love letters from the people who make them to everyone else. I enjoyed it.
