Nice review – worth reading for the twisting of time frames! I like that – very enticing.

The review sparked my interest. The loss of a partner and mother to one’s newly born must open an abyss of chaos. Challenging. Like re-forming a planet (mother). New meaning, new coherence. But for the blessing and presence of the child this process might never have been shared. I’m looking forward to the reading.
