They do notknow each other, but their stories are connected by their geographies, their emotions, and theuncertainties in their lives. Filled with beautiful and immersive prose, this work consists of threenarrative braids that intertwine to draw the reader into this novel's complicated world. All threestories, or braids, were written with one another in mind and the arrangement of the chapterswas intentional.
