I adored a lot in this - the setting, the slow-burn mystery. The writing is excellent. But am I the only one who was put off by that one chapter near the beginning? You know, the one with the questionable head-canon on autism that's quoted in all the reviews for some reason? Maybe I'm missing something and/or something was lost in translation, it just made me uncomfortable.
Graphic: Animal death and Death
