I've been aware of this since it came out but never picked it up because I tend to avoid sad books. However I heard several reviews which made me think I might like this one. It is very sad but it explores the chaos of grief in a really interesting way. Cave's writing is raw and vulnerable and Ruth is a very messy character. I just wanted someone to look after her. It was hard to read at times but I'm glad I finally picked it up.
