I continue to adore these novellas. I wish there were more, and I'm eternally glad Nghi Vo is continuing to publish them. The prose is beautiful and I am a sucker for a continually evolving/changing story that doesn't necessarily need to be told linearly. from poly elders who have adored each other long enough for their love to become that of legend, to non-romantic sworn bonds, to fast friendships, this novella shows the enormous breath of what is possible in relationships and love, beyond the narrow definitions often ascribed to marriage and friendship. Nghi Vo writes the most gorgeous fully realized characters.
