What an absolutely beautifully written book. It’s amazing what she’s able to pack in to such a short novella. It felt like no word was wasted here. She ran me through the full gamut of emotions. There was more beautiful character work in 70 pages than some books pack into thousands.

I  mildly recommend the story because of the narrator discussing the subject, then the subject's sad life which you really expected to see something change, but it never did. I kept thinking something would happen and it was more engaging than other books I've read from the "1000 Books" list.
