The best way to approach this is as a collection of letters. It’s not a “traditional” book with narrative structure and characters being described and fleshed out. It doesn’t have a plot in the normal sense. It’s loosely sci-fi as the background is a time war but at its core it’s prose, it’s following the two characters as they begin to know each other, as their letters to each other take on more depth as the book goes on.
Read it in the spirit it’s intended, two authors constructing a novella, each playing the part if you like of one of the characters. It’s poetry, it’s love letters, it’s a lovely indulgent read. I thoroughly enjoyed this but it won’t be to everyone’s liking.
