This is a beautiful book, filled with gorgeous prose as it urges you along the strands of time to follow the relationship between Red and Blue. But it demands your full focus to absorb the story - this is not a book for multi-tasking. It took me literal months to finish this relatively short book because I needed to set aside uninterrupted quiet time to allow Blue and Red's story fully sink into my subconscious. I'll have to go back and revisit after I've had time to sit with it for a while.
