emotional
reflective
medium-paced

- Strong character development? Yes
4.5
Oh boy. At first I struggled to get into this, the opening 60 pages or so meanders around people, places, folktales, but when Town starts to tell *the* story things crystallise.
The story of the elephants left me wanting a word for humanity that's species-agnostic. As the story progresses I was left wanting a similar word for inhumane.
We see the relationship between man and nature unfurl in parallel to that of a man and his nature. The ending gave me big feels and the seeming meanders of the early part come full circle as you reflect on where things end.
