What to expect
A quiet, bittersweet, and lyrical reading experience. It moves quickly due to the screenwriting format, but the emotional subtext and accompanying essays provide substantial depth. Thematically touches on longing, identity, and the ache of nostalgia, free of explicit violence or severe trauma.
