Absolutely stunning writing. This is an amazing read. I'm not saying much about it as I do not wish to spoil anyone's experience regarding the plot itself. That said, her characterizations so are wonderful and her methods of comparing the differences time wise in the locales is brilliant. Living in this area and knowing these locations intimately I given quite the pause and food for thought while reading. Extremely effective!! This is hands down one of the best short fiction novels I've ever had the pleasure of reading. ( )
