This unique book has no chronological plot but it has a forward traveling progression between different storylines that correspond with the recurrence of Hailey’s comet. It’s such a cool concept, the way pieces of stories are complied to tell a very meta tale of the power of words, the power of connection, and how one singular fairy tale can cast a wide net that will morph and capture generations of tellers and listeners. With a breadcrumb trail to follow we see invention and epidemic and the fruits of human kindness. This is a gorgeous and glittering examination what could have been and would could be - but it’s not all shiny and lovely. There is deep pain and loss. Luckily, there is refuge. There is compassion and there is a hand to hold through the woods.
