Taken away from meetup, perfect to put on my shelf for future Wishlist tag. Lovely to catch up xtrdnry
This book was written like a number of quite separate short stories which started coming together in the very last few chapters. Lots of similarities in the stories and a few small connections to other chapters kept the book interesting to me, the reader. The stories moved from New York to London to Jerusalem over the decades, all eventually tied together.
I enjoyed the book very much.
Heading off to a Wishlist tagger next.
