Small little vignette of a book, its attention to small details always gave it a sense of being unsettling or foreboding, but ultimately it was touching. I liked the way each chapter ended with a distinct line. The title and the cover definitely did not capture the vibe of the book.

The whole book seems to have this ethereal feel to it, like reality and perception aren't quite as you'd expect. It's hyper-focused on minute details, beautifully described, that create a sense of presence at the same time as making everything feel a little strange.
It's like a book of three short stories, but they're chronological and deal with the same characters. A little odd, a little quirky, very wistful and with some emotional heft (I felt as much for the weasels as I did the humans), it's a short but sweet read.

I can see what the book was trying to do, but I don't think it was a successful attempt. Failed short of its goals and won't be a book I think about in the future. Would like to read other works by the author though, hopefully longer and more developed.
