DNF at 116 pages. Too miserable and if the advert for the "sequel" is anything to go by nothing improves.

Content warnings for child death and alcoholism.

Good book. Very sad but … what other book features long distance nut busting off the top of a castle? Never to be outdone in that sense. If I talk more about the sad parts of it I’ll cry, so I won’t.

Great writing and very detailed descriptions of life in poverty. I did find the ending to be a bit odd and lacking closure. I also found some of the details within this book to be unnecessary.
