No Two Ways About It: Brilliant
To have a book dropped wordlessly in the night into your Kindle in a night you are climbing out of recovery for Stage 4 cancer treatment, and to have the book be this one, this spiritual agnostic acknowledges, again, that there are forces in our world at work that we cannot explain.
To say I couldn't put this down is clichéd, and I did. I had to sleep. But I didn't stop thinking. I have never ran a complete parallel conversation in my brain as I did with this one. I will need to re-read to capture all the Egyptolog details, and confirm what time spinning I believe took place. I can't imagine the brilliance of how to weave quantum physics, Egyptian pathways, and death doulas into a love story for a daughter, a mother, a brother, a lover and a husband - and maybe even a little growing love for self and all that is sacrificed in living life and all that we fear when faced with dying.
Thank you, Jodi. It's the book I wanted to read before I died.
