In this episode, they take a closer look at the novel’s rich thematic layers by unpacking its exploration of immigration, generational trauma, cultural identity, and the emotional weight of displacement. They discuss how these themes intersect with the book’s speculative time-travel framework, the complexities of its relationships, and the lasting impact of history on every character.

From sharp observations to personal reflections, this conversation goes deeper than a standard review! Offering insight, critique, and heartfelt reactions along the way.
