Grief and loss are central themes. The three main characters are navigating their way through different kinds of loss: Chuck is grieving after the loss of his wife of many years from cancer; Kirsten is coming to terms with violent death of her father; Elle is living in a nightmare where her daughter has been abducted by her father.
The writing is utterly beautiful, and I found myself completely caught up in the lives of these people. Even though two of the characters are dealing with grief, it’s such a life affirming novel.
Highly recommended - just have the tissues close at hand!
