Sara spotted this in the library, after we both enjoyed the hell out of *The Librarian of Burned Books*, she read it first. This is maybe slightly better than that book, somehow managing to be more hopeful in spite (or maybe because) of the greater magnitude of loss in if. Multiple story lines carried off with remarkable grace, again a subtext bubbling to the surface screaming about the present day. Very highly recommended.
