The heroes in this tale are ordinary, the natural world fickle, fierce, and magnificent, the evil believable, and prescient. Each sentence is a gem. This book is a praise-song for kindness.
"Lark's theory of angels was that they are us and we mostly don't remember."
The book was encouraging in the way the characters managed difficult circumstances. Tenderness, fortitude and compassion were all essential for the characters to deal with challenges. It fits our time.
