What can I say about this book? I cried basically through the whole thing, heart on my sleeve, from joy and sorrow and grief and relief and all the other things this book has made me feel. 

Hansel, my dearest beloved. Broken and battered and never the same but still trying, because you have to try. 

And Cyril, bird boy, discovering the power of choices and of being in-between and not having to choose. 

And finally to an ending and a future you couldn't imagine when you began. 

One of the best things I have read in a long time
