I am so happy you guys picked this book. It was such an enjoyable read, and I genuinely was kept guessing (really liked how my theories kept getting proven wrong/how with each narrative I had to begin again). Ezra’s narrative was especially moving; as was Rosanna’s letter. Both felt very Dickensian in their tragedy/concerns with social injustices (racism and classism). And great work on the reading guides Hannah!
I’m so glad you loved it! Yes he’s definitely a master at keeping you guessing the whole time. And yes, moving is just the right word for Ezra’s character/narrative. Very memorable. So glad you read along!
Similar to you, I didn’t make any notes during reading as I was so caught up in the story. I will do so on a reread. Looking back on the story, the most impactful for me were Ezra’s character (a sad character, so warm and his mysterious past) and the shivering sands (the visuals and scary mysterious feelings they invoke in me).
