This book focuses more on prose than anything else. While there is some character and plot development the primary focus is the writing itself. Treat this more as a poetry book than a novel and you'll be okay.

A book I picked up on a whim, wanting to read something different and out of my reading genres. And gosh was it worth it.

The writing is beautiful and captivating but also haunting and sad.

I loved the mixture of writing styles from free verse to transcripts to poems. It really fitted with the character Wolfie and what he goes through.

A book I would 100% recommend to others. I just wish it was a bit longer, despite a satisfying ending, but I'll just have to read more of Godden's work instead.

Incredible book rich with poetry and philosophy. A beautiful interpretation of death. Slightly slow in parts and difficult to follow in others - but the stylistic formatting is still delightful.

A bit scattered but some sweet moments.

“here is the murder hole
here's the dungeon
here's a ghost
yes, I know
but I'm trying to sleep”
