Ilana Masad, author of All My Mother’s Lovers

“There are difficult questions asked in this novel, about responsibility, culpability, love, trust, and the weight of time and distance, and there are no easy answers––instead, we are treated to the most vivid particulars, the glory of specifics, the full human reality of a character whose attempt to wander away from deadening grief only reminds him time and time again of all the many ways he has and does and can still feel alive.”
