This book is haunting. The main character is complex and fully fleshed out, the setting is amazing, both beautiful and frightening, and the story is gripping. I found myself getting into the story more and more with each chapter.

This book details the sadness and toll of isolation in a bautifully sad way. I found myself feeling deeply moved by the main character, even though he was not perfect. He was not without faults, but the punishmet he received far exceeds his crime. Human isolation is a main theme on this book, and it is devastating, the smallest gesture of human affection for someone starved of it for a decade is so filled with joy and dispair at the same time. The family relationships were put in a very intimate and realistic way. And there is a sense of foreboding, up until the last revelation.

The final twist was surprising, although mostly for me because it became second to Nathan's feelings and thoughts. I couldn't help but to feel a kindness towards him. At the end, even peripheral characters have more layers and complexity than what I initially thought. I definitely recommend this book and will eagerly read more from the author.
