A Fine and Private Place by Peter S. Beagle
4.0
This is a very interesting and original story, with a lovely mix of humor with thoughtful ideas, written in Beagle's unmistakably magical style. A story of ghosts who cannot and refuse to give up their lives, memories and feelings. A story of living people that go through life in a strange, fearful existance, with little communication with the outside world. And a story of a raven, which is the most delightfully funny creature in the book.
Granted, reading each chapter of this look took me as long as reading ten chapters in other books, and I really don't know why. Maybe because there were conversations in this story that made you stop and wonder, that made you reflect on life and death and love. A really beautiful tale by this great author.
