Mam problem z tą książką. Wydaje mi się, że nie jest dostosowana do dzieci: dużo drastycznych scen, ciężkie wątki poruszone jakby zbyt niechlujnie, a jednocześnie pompatycznie.
Rozdziały z perspektywy liska bardzo na plus, doceniam starania autorki; niektóre momenty z perspektywy chłopca też dość dobre.
Historia kobiety z lasu trochę mętna.

Jestem zakochana w samym wydaniu, przepiękne ilustracje, zbudowały klimat. <3

I knew this book would make me cry and I read it anyway. Such a beautiful story about humans and their special bond with animals. What an ending! Will definitely read again when I feel like sobbing.
