what a sad, sad book. told in such an interesting and compelling way. the exploration of grief, loss, tragedy, the way we act when we have to endure the unimaginable, the monstrousness of us and of what we are capable of in our saddest and hardest moments, oh this was just. so good. excellent excellent stuff. made me extremely sad.
