This book “found me” on a visit to a bookstore in Paris last month. I was about 25k steps into the day and took a welcome break in a comfortable reading room where this book was sitting on an adjacent table. The title piqued my interest so I picked it up and bought it and read it in one sitting on the flight home. It was sometimes challenging to follow and it has a diagram on the first couple pages of all of the characters and their respective relationships and affectations (both helpful and a fair warning). The juice is worth the squeeze here, better, the beans are worth the grind as the reward was a deeply emotional experience.
