kt_timms's review against another edition

I randomly found a book to start reading to pass the time while at a family gathering at the end of 2022 to test out the app I’m using to read my books and got halfway through, still not really understanding exactly what the book was about, or what was going on at the point I got to. Unless I missed something, I was confused at how

the characters got to the funeral for someone they seemed to possibly know

because it felt so out of the blue. I don’t think the concept shined for me, so I ended up stopping at the mid-point to find something else to read.

‘You don’t ever have to say anything,’ he says. ‘Always remember that as a thing you need never do. Many’s the man lost much just because he missed a perfect opportunity to say nothing.’
