4 stars for the text only. The most important thing I can say about this book is DO NOT LISTEN TO IT AS AN AUDIOBOOK. It’s written in the style of a play, with quotes, but the audiobook narrators read every speaker’s name, with every single line, and it’s impossible to listen to. The text, however, is incredibly creative in both structure and plot. It kept taking surprising turns as it wove together historical facts with a magical ghost story, while imparting important knowledge about what it means to be human.
