emotional sad fast-paced

The writing is unique. This book may not be for everyone but those who get it - will get it.

A page turner through and through. Very emotional and personal with a nice attention to little details that draw you into the story of Michael, Francis and their mother.

You know whats going to happen the whole time, so when it does happen, it is all the more devastating. Such lovely language. First book I have torn through in a while.
