This story was very intense, and very heavy, but very quick. It’s a novella so it’s not lengthy, but it was incredibly moving. It is a gorgeous adaptation of the Crane Wife folktale and I think it does a great job depicting things that are hard to face and talk about in a poignant and visceral way.
