Harpman skillfully weaves a narrative that delves into themes of isolation, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit. The way she captures the struggles and hopes of the characters in a stark and mysterious setting is both haunting and beautiful. The novel's ambiance and depth make it a truly distinct reading experience.
