Together, they ascend to heaven and establish a paradox of origins and metamorphosis that reimagines language and the history of the world.
Review
I’m in awe! This is truly one of the greatest literary works of today! One that brings back that forgotten time in the history of literature when you have to decipher what you read; that time when you have to read between the lines to uncover a deeper meaning. It’s the best book to read and discuss in book clubs because it will have different interpretations. And amongst the many questions to answer and discuss would be the identity of the Hermit.
I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. It’s a cosmic tale in an exquisite narrative with poetic expression. I highly recommend this to ALL readers who want to be blown away. This book is a MUST-READ!
