The sadness rushes to you from character’s loneliness. The Narrator did justice to this book, his voice deepening your understanding of the character’s worries and inner universe.
This book will stay with me and I feel that it somehow crashed something inside, can’t interpret much of it now, but I will….

I particularly loved the section where Maurice overhears Sadie talking to their son:
"does Kevin love kevin?.... Because if you love this wee boy and are always kind to him and always try to understand him then I think he will be the happiest little man in the whole wide world"
😩 Life goals! Sounds trite, but I really hope that is the lesson I take away from this book.
