If you ever wonder whether you’re a bit morbid because you think about death, then you should read this. As much poetry as fiction and more of a miscellany than a straightforward novel.

I added about 1 star for the ‘Oh, to be a piano!’ which I found charming. Otherwise, this was a book that felt basically irredeemable, I finished it out of spite.
