I didn't expect to be blown away by this book. World War I history isn't my jam, but this book--magical, sweeping, and speculative--is far from run-of-the-mill historical fiction. In the tradition of George Saunders, Michael Cunningham, and even a li ...more

Audrey’s Quotes

“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep!”
― Rumi
