As someone who lost my child during pregnancy a few months before reading this book, I really resonated with this book on this level, and I'm sad much of the discourse around the novel hasn't really mentioned this, the arc of making sense of this traumatic childbirth.
I love that you pulled out some of the themes that most of the discourse has submerged. Her traumatic childbirth experience, which seems to provide the energy for much of the action (black hole to the quasar), is sometimes not even mentioned!
