Just a few pages into this and I already feel quietly drawn in. There’s a softness to the writing, but also a sharp attentiveness to how people see and misread each other, especially in the way Red seems to observe Mara through a mix of admiration, distance, and quiet tension. It already feels like a novel interested in perception, longing, and the emotional weight of what goes unspoken.
