4.5

This is a book full of slow, creeping dread, unsettlingly claustrophobic and eerie, it's also a hauntingly beautiful story of love and loss, beginnings, endings and letting go. 
Not one for those who like everything clearly explained at the end, but one for those looking for otherworldly atmosphere and musings on the little details and memories that make up a relationship.
