I haven't read a story as gentle as this one in such a long time.
So many stories of the tail end of humanity focus on the brutality of loss and the end of society. This one doesn't. This replaces the hopelessness and betrayal of those stories with the quiet beauty of small moments together at the end. It's not a fizzle or a bang, we end with a content sigh.
The love between the father and daughter in this book brought me so many mixed emotions of sorrow and hope. Even when I knew where the story was headed I couldn't help but be glad we've all had a little time together, even if it's not for forever.
This is a wonderful book for anyone on their own journey through grief.
