Wow! Totally get the hype! So amazing. It started slow and definitely meandered a bit slowly through time, countries and generations but the careful study of family connection & what makes us human made it all worth the wait. And the surprising last few chapters? Talk about ending with a bang! While I own this in paperback, I listened on audio and it was fantastic. #MountTBR
