A review by mayjasper
The Light and the Dark by Mikhail Shishkin, Andrew Bromfield

4.0

While reading I swapped between entranced and confused. Sometimes both together.
On finishing I immediately turned back ro re-read some of the exquisite passages including a description of the tiny details a child notices at the seashore. This stirred long forgotten memories for me.
If you were to ask me what happened in the book I am not sure I could tell you. And the ending left me non-plussed. However, much of it was beautiful.
