This is a book I sucked greedily dry, taking its characters’ anxieties in order to soothe my own. When the last page was read, I kissed my wife. I listened to her, both the words and the silences. I rested my hand on my children’s chests and felt their hearts beat, until they told me to ‘get off’. Stars, you ask, in return for this healing and renewal? I would cast a net through the sky and offer a sparkling torrent.
