2020 book 132

Nina Kiriki Hoffman's A Red Heart of Memories
This was a weird but great little book, about a woman who can talk to human-made objects, and what happens when a guy steps out of a wall and tells her she's his next mission. Except then they go on a road trip and she ends up helping him sort out his past instead. There's some really cool magic in here, and a very lovable car and house, but really the story is about processing trauma (content warnings for mentions of various abuses against children). I liked this a lot. A-.
