Grabbed this during a weekend order. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
