This book is how I was able to finally pinpoint that I feel grief in my chest and stomach. I haven't read anything this gutting in a long, long time.

it took me a minute to become ensconced in the story and then I couldn't put it down. I stayed up until 2 AM crocheting and listening to this audiobook get sadder and sadder and before I knew it, the book was over. this is one I need to sit with for a bit, but color me impressed.
if you liked Still Life by Sarah Winman, you'll love this. very similar books in many ways (with different settings and plots, obviously).
