A good debut novel
I like the premise of the book, it's very intriguing. However, by the end, it kind of settle on me that this was more a collection of stories, of lives of different people, that happen to be connected by this particular death story.

I think that the individual personal stories are very good. They touch on various unfortunate circumstances, injustices and hard life stories, that really make the reader feel for the characters. I think that the writing is solid.
.
The book cover is beautiful. I consider this to be a pretty good debut novel. The short story part is very well executed. But I think that the bigger picture/the novel context needs more work to feel like all the pieces belong together, and not apart.
