Vega, a Rememberer dedicated to preserving cultures before they fade into obscurity, travels with her brother Wren to a remote mountain village known as Small Home.
Vega and Wrenโs climb to Small Home is not just a physical journey but a symbolic one. Through their contrasting personalities, Vegaโs seriousness and sense of duty balanced against Wrenโs humor and irreverence, Olson immediately grounds the reader in character-driven storytelling. Their interactions feel natural and warm, adding lightness to a narrative that ultimately grapples with themes of memory, loss, and responsibility.
Small Home itself is beautifully realized. The village feels alive, shaped by traditions, community, and an intimate relationship with the land. As Vega observes and records the lives of its inhabitants, the novel gently asks whether remembering is enough or whether true respect for a culture demands something deeper. The townspeople tell her amazing stories about Tantea, the teacher of miracles. How Vegaโs encounter with Tantea will go?
The writing style of the author is nice. The world building is amazing. The cover photo is eye-catching and the title is suitable. The characters are well developed and will stay on my mind for a long time.
