A Tale for the Time Being

Powerful but challenging reader experience. Interwoven timelines and a bit of mysticism change this relatively calm diary of sorts of a middle aged woman in British Columbia into a mystery.

There is some brutal behavior and explicit content in this book. There is a lot of talk of suicide. Parts of this book are very hard to read because you feel so badly for the characters.

This was a bit depressing but a great read. It was though provoking and took the pov of two different people during two different periods of time. It deals with suicide, bullying, alzheimer's, dealing with lost and morality. It was worth every moment of reading though I did have to put it down a few times to decompress. If any of these topics triggers you I would avoid the book.
