Waiting for Eden by Elliot Ackerman
5.0
“As prepared as she felt to let him go, and as much as she wanted that final release for him, and for herself, she now felt a desperate want for him to hold on.”
Wow. Simply wow. This slim book, all of 173 pages, is packed tightly with beautiful prose full of emotion, depth, reality, strength, love, agony, and trauma. It’s a quick read only because it will not let you go until you’ve heard, witnessed, and felt Mary and Eden’s story.
This slim book held me tightly, and left me feeling like my heart was ripped out. It’s haunting.
This is a powerful story about the cost of war.
