Nov 12, 2020There are parts of this story that are hauntingly beautiful. Any with abandonment issues will see themselves clearly in Ginny, who can't rest until she understands why her mother left. There was a little bit too much convenience in finding exactly who they were looking for so quickly in San Francisco, but on the other hand, I don't know how much more time I would have wanted dedicated to searching a city full of derelicts.

Overall, this was a story that pervaded my subconscious and stayed with me long after the book was closed. Read Full Review
