Another really good book. I think i preferred Asher Lev, but lots of similarities. A good coming of age about expectations and fatherhood. Of striking out on your own, and the importance of friendship. The pursuit of knowledge, and the burden of knowing. Of the specific power of words, and the inability to say what you want.
