This book is bliss. It was everything I'd wanted it to be, as someone who loves time travel stories but not necessarily the ins and outs of it or the mind mazes it can create. In here, you'll find gorgeous prose, sometimes twisting the narration for the sake of beauty, a correspondence bursting with feelings and etched onto any surface available, and time agents with a purpose but also a heart.
