Dark Spring by Unica Zürn

4.0

Four and five star ratings are a rare thing for me. I picked this book up by chance from somewhere I can't remember and am glad I did. It was haunting, yet so real and tangible. The duality of the girl's emotional maturity and yet childish tendencies and thought processes make the character so interesting. Although simple, the writing itself is wonderful in its honesty and starkness, especially because it goes places many authors are afraid to go. As someone with mental health and familial issues, the little girl's longings are both relatable and unique. In long grief we have those thoughts we think no one else can understand. Beautiful piece of art.
