A beautifully written and cultivated book. The writing is incredible and the way the author lures you in with a permanent backdrop of nature and unique characterisation is brilliant. However, plot-wise, this book just wasn't my cup of tea. I recommend this to anyone who wants a nature-filled story with a murder mystery subplot and a large focus on coming-of-age drama.
