Mend the Living by Maylis de Kerangal

4.0

Utterly heartbreaking and completely fascinating. When thinking of how to describe this book, the word that keeps coming back to me is 'fluid'. It kind of moves slowly and starts to envelop you and before you know it you're crying with the parents and working through the hospital processes and then vividly seeing the work of the surgeons. What could have been a dry description was written with such heart.
