The Mortifications by Derek Palacio

4.0

Though I was impressed by the precision of Derek Palacio's writing, the sense of time and place, and the ways characters were shaped by loss, it was only in the last 70 pages or so that I was thoroughly drawn into The Mortifications. But that last part was stunningly beautiful in ways that made me put the book down and catch my breath before continuing on.
