Wow, this is incredible. The writing is really both lyrical and so sharp and precise. I love how you’ve breathed life into both of these two, when we get very little sense of their internal lives in the books.

This is so overwhelmingly good. Extraordinary. The very prose is Minerva-colored, which means it’s beautiful, reticent, unfussy, and intelligent, full of intense emotion overlain by an undemonstrative surface. I loved every bit of this.

So moving! Wonderfully crafted, all these phases and loves and careworn moments of Minerva’s life.
