A short book, but SO MUCH PRAISE. And awards: 2021 Kirkus Best Books of the Year - Historical Fiction, 2021 National Book Award - Fiction (Finalist), et al.

"This is one story so eloquently told, that it suffuses the soul with warmth, imbues life with rich beauty no matter how small and alone we may feel. I had not planned on reading this book, but I read a page, and then another and another!"

I just got short-listed for this one at the library.
