4.5

Too short a book to truly be 5 stars, but one I enjoyed nonetheless.

Mandel, as always, crafted a story that felt believable despite its far-fetchedness. Add to that the evocative imagery typical of this author, and you have a beautiful piece that touches (with fondness) on the human condition.
