I am reading such a gorgeous book right now. It's In Ascension by Martin MacInnes. Has anyone read it? It covers a lot of bases in one and is beautifully written. Not overwrought while touching on some truths in a way that's... it's like, snippets of how we really think and connect things as we go through life, or something. I mean, not the specific connections, but the weaving of past experience, and expertise, and observation in such a relatable way. First person narrative.

Well, I say not specifically relatable, but some of the parts about the aging parent are 100% relatable.

And it's also suspenseful sometimes and gripping most times -- even the more mundane parts. A good read with a bunch of extra body to it. Really a beautiful work. Highly recommend!
