Falling Out of Time by David Grossman

5.0

---

This book combines poetry, play and prose to be a powerful work of literature like nobody could. It begins with a husband who wants to go looking for his dead son. Then other citizens of the town join in and they go on walking and walking in circle trying to go to where the dead go. Each one of them has their own grief and is trying to nurse the wound of loss. All the voices are so very powerful and raw. It is like a coping mechanism on grief while reflecting on our own mortality at the same time.
