I think this is a wonderful book to read when you're grieving, whether that be a person or some aspect of your life you hold dear. There was a lot in this book that resonated with me and made me evaluate myself and my own actions, and I am grateful for it. 

The prose in this book is wonderful, but due to its nature of being a book composed entirely of prose and scarce dialogue, it goes incredibly slow. In the second part, to its detriment. I feel part one is easily five stars, but sixty pages from the end I could've dnf-ed. It seriously dragged, continuously getting worse until the end. It's quite tragic really, most of the book is really fantastic. I wish they had found a way to make it less tortuous at the end.
