This book infuriated me so badly and was so devastating. Those last chapters felt like I was running a marathon and was not sure if I was going to win. Men and their fragile masculinity and violence are the problems of every society. Yes, it was the 80s but we just want to live in peace like everyone else. The mother sending him on that trip was just irresponsible and stupid. Like how can people be this fuck up and these children were so neglected. Mungo and James just deserved everything and what they had was beautiful. That last page made me sob so bad.
