I like this, I think it would be better visually. I do want to see the play but the book is good too. Weird and kind of creepy and dark but i think it suits the subject and style. some really good lines throughout, overall liked it.

Phenomenal. Having lost my mother about two years ago, a very hard read, but well worth it.

A bit too artsy for my taste. The change of perspective is interesting but can also be confusing. I liked that it's not a chronological account of specific events, it feels much more real and mirrors grief, when time is a blurr.

Poem/short novel about a dad and two boys losing their mom. A unique and enjoyable short read.

an odd little book - but nonetheless told a beautiful story of grief, and how we carry it with us. but in doing so, we carry those people that we so dearly miss with us; they live on through our memories of them.
i should probably listen to that myself
