I finished this book this afternoon:
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu. Wow! I was sorry to come to the end. As I read, I sometimes got goosebumps and sometimes had that weird mind-blown feeling in my head. It was sad, funny, hopeful, and thought-provoking. I don't want to say much more about it, because that would involve spoilers and for me, part of the joy of reading this book was not knowing where the author was taking me next. I will post the blurb from inside the front cover which gives a sense of the book without giving too much away.
The book, which was written before the current pandemic, can be read as a collection of linked short stories, with some characters from earlier chapters reappearing later on. This is a book that will stay with me for a long time and one that I highly recommend!

Wow! That sure sounds different!
It is a weird and wonderful book :-)
Sounds different...with this Covid, sounds real...enjoy the blog...
Thanks, Brenda :-) It was the plague aspect that I learned about when I first read about the book and that's why I wanted to read it.
I've read about this book. It looks really interesting and I'm glad you wrote about it Shari.
It wasn't what I thought it would be--I think I was expecting it to be more dystopian--but it was so much more and I'm really glad I read it! :-)
