I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

This book is so beautifully written, and so devastatingly tragic. I smiled until my cheeks hurt, and I cried as my heart broke repeatedly.
