This was interesting.
I needed some time to get into it at first because it is a bit experimental in form. I also expected more of an emotional gut punch from a book about grief but that did not really happen for me (the third part came close, though).
I think I did not get as much aout of this book as I could have, had I read <italics>Crow</italics> by Ted Hughes before. It's referenced throughout and is therefore quite central to understanding the book fully.
