The Son by Michel Rostain
4.0
Five stars even though I'm not sure I could ever read this again. It's a story about the death of a child - in this case the child is 21 and died from a very bad form of meningitis - with a bit of a twist. Not only is this story true but it is told from the point of view of the recently deceased.
The perspective is slanted, you spend a lot of time with the father, but that is to be expected from the fact that book is written by one parent not both. That's the only little qualm I have with it but it's hardly my place to have any in the face of this unimaginable tragedy. It hurts to read it and it still hurts by the end.
