This novel is so beautifully crafted. I fear any words I try and use will not do it justice but suffice to say the book charts a tale of love, loss, abuse, friendship, violence and every human experience and emotion in between. The language blossoms and winds around the reader, and captivates in a way only great fiction rooted in heartbreaking reality can.
