This book, at heart, is the story of an extended family over the course of five decades centering around the marriage of Meridia and Daniel. But both setting and style are unusual in the extreme, blending elements of fairy tale and magical realism to create a world like none I’ve ever experienced. If you are someone who needs to understand what is happening at every moment in a book—this is not the book for you. But if you are open to sinking into a metaphor and letting it wrap the story around you like, well, a mist—you’ve gotta read this!
