This was so incredibly odd and I loved every weird second of it. Truly gave me "Beyond the Paw Paw Trees" vibes. I love when authors can just wander through their imaginative whims without having to make sense or logistics work. It was fun, compelling, romantic, and dashing. I actually think as a read aloud, it would be a good bedtime story for 5 and+ kiddos. Neato!
