3.7 AVERAGE


Completely stunning. This might sound like an exaggeration, but I never realized how deeply an author could develop his characters until I read this. The prose is gorgeous and sumptuous and completely effortless. This was a moody, pensive, brief, and deeply emotional read for me. A descriptive jewel of a novel. I highly recommend this short novel.

There is a land of the living and a land the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning. 

"Learn at last that anywhere you may expect grace."

the bridge of love
if we just accepted love in our lives would we die too?

Heartbreaking. Powerful. Beautiful.
