BEST novel I've read since 2019 (42 months) and one of the most impressionable books of MY LIFETIME.

With a breathtaking, complex plot, Onda's masterpiece intertwines memories with the traumatic events of our lives. Forewarning though: The book is written in one-sided first person. The reader only hears the spoken voice of the each chapter's lead character.
