I loved how this book pulls you in and doesn't let go. Told in short bursts of interconnected, story song and poetry, every chapter is a bit different but and though each section is about a human (or insect or small mammel) it's ultimately about the land and the house and the memories they hold. Just wonderful writing and story. I'll be back at some point for a reread.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Car accident and Schizophrenia/Psychosis
