a beautifully written book about brothers navigating grief.

“[…] only walks beside him along the laneway, where indeed everyone might see them, but no one does.” S.117
“Because a living person has their own reality, he says. The person who's gone has no reality anymore, except in thoughts. And once they're gone from thoughts, they actually are completely gone. If I don't think about him, literally, I'm ending his existence.” S.383
