Those stories come from life, but they go further than life. Through her rich imagination and subtle insight into human nature, she uses gentle and flowing words to let us follow the characters in the novel to trace back to the past, experience growth together, and influence each other with the people around us. Their starting points may be traceable, but where the end point is, no one is sure. They only know that at some point in the timeline of life, who met who, and then they each continue to set off.
