This book went in a direction I did not expect but thoroughly enjoyed. I did not see the plot twist coming at all. I felt really close to the narrator throughout, though the reader doesn’t know her name. The mix of first person and second person made me feel like “the bridge” was speaking directly to me. The exploration of how we shape our past and present and what expatriation does to your sense of self was fascinating. Of course in this case the expatriation was through time not location. I think this one will stick with me for a long time.
