Achingly poetic and deeply philosophical, this beautiful alternate history is a careful examination of history, zealotry, love and loss. Effortless characterisation and lush descriptions that never strayed into self-indulgence made the mystery of Rupetta all the more joyful (albeit a bittersweet flavour thereof) a journey for me. A gorgeous, enriching book.
