Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!
This was a beautifully written book by the author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, which was so wonderful. This is a series of interconnected short stories starting in 1937 and continuing through the present time. It's sometimes hard to read the atrocities of war and what people are forced to do in times of extreme stress and pressure.
As beautifully written and touching as it was, this was another one of those books that left me thinking that I would have enjoyed it more or gotten more out of it if only I was a tad smarter. I sometimes had to go back and reread sections of previous chapters to remember the connection spoken of later on.
But it's definitely worth the read - stresses yet again how closely we are all related in this world and the ripples that extend out from each of us.
