“We’re carrying the fire.”
The story was so bleak and daunting but I couldn’t put the book down, I held out hope for the two until the very end despite the impossible circumstances 😭 the only thing i didn’t like was the lack of punctuation and chapters that is apparently signature of McCarthy’s writing =))
