Still, it's possible that you might be asking. Why does he even need a holiday? What does he need distraction from?
Which brings me to my next point.
It's the leftover humans.
The survivors.
They're the ones I can't stand to look at, although on many occasions, I still fail. I deliberately seek out the colours to keep my mind off them, but every now and then, I witness the ones who are left behind, crumbling amongst the jigsaw puzzle of realisation, despair and surprise. They have punctured hearts. They have beaten lungs.
It was only the children I carried in my arms.
A hauntingly beautiful story. I have no more words than that

This might be a bit inappropriate but you know how excited I was to read some German words in this book? It felt like I was getting a refresher in some of the words, and going "Ooh.. I know what those mean."
Unfortunately with a book like this it went through the eyes and out the ears. It wasn't that I struggled to read it, I just struggled to see it as any more than just words on a page.
