Fowler had a lot of intentions with this novel and I think every single one was fulfilled deftly and given enough time and space to unfold and conclude. The two different historical backdrops of Brazil in the 1960s and 70s and London in the 2010s brilliantly intertwines so many lives and themes, politically and personally. Fowler's constant changing of the form allows for an all the more expressive and moving reading experience, one that, at its core, aims to unite queer women and help them free themselves.

And Hamlet says No, he will not kill himself, because there is everything to live for because so much more is possible than what they have imagined yet, because there are more things on heaven and earth.
