general idea has changed over time but as of now it's about this family that suffers multiple tragedies and the relationships they build around them inside of their own minds, but it's also kind of like a telepathic ghost story told from multiple perspectives, a father, mother, and son... lots of fairy tale like elements built in and one of the perspectives it's told from is just a view of question and answer conversations between this separated father and mother and how they've learned to understand each other and the events that have taken place. Time and setting are intentionally vague, plot jumps around in time. none of that stuff matters tho, I think what I have so far is cohesive from a story standpoint
Arguably none of these interactions are actually taking place outside of the various narrators' thoughts, but maybe they are. That's not the important part. it's kind of like a literary Terrence Malik movie if I had to give a vibe. Also not as dark as the subject matter implies, but it definitely is a book based on grief, for whatever that's worth. it's a pretty personal book if you were to give it to my closest friends, but it's not really based around things that have happened in my life. I heard someone once say that writing a novel is like exercising some type of demon. I think I agree. it has been a really cathartic process on the whole despite the challenges
Thanks for asking. I don't think I've ever described it that much to anyone before
