The plot revolves around Shosh and Even, the main characters who live separate lives but begin to uncover echoes from their past lives. Shosh is still mourning the loss of her sister, causing her dreams of attending college and pursuing a career in theater to be put on hold as her anger takes control of her present. During a blurry state of mind induced by excessive drinking, she starts hearing the haunting melody of a mysterious woman's song, which may lead her down a different path.
Evan, on the other hand, has his own share of burdens. He grapples with his mother's battle with cancer and his neglectful father's refusal to return home during this life-and-death struggle. He is also at a loss on how to help his 7-year-old brother, who often retreats into a fantasy world instead of facing the harsh realities of their dysfunctional family life. Suddenly, Evan too begins to hear the captivating lyrics of the same mysterious singer, which may ultimately change everything he thought he knew about himself and his entire existence.
Overall, I appreciated the intriguing plotline of this book; however, I struggled with its slow and somewhat monotonous pacing.
