A lovely, reflective read with unique and lovable characters and a wholesome, optimistic outlook on death. Minus 1/2 star because the ending (prior to the epilogue) felt rushed to me, especially compared to the leisurely pace of the rest of the story. Although I loved the outcome, I am still a bit confused on the steps that got us there — although maybe that's exactly the point, i.e. the fates are capricious and do whatever the @#$& they want. Still, a warm hug all the same.
Moderate: Death and Child death
Minor: Death of parent and Suicide
