"Was now the only living member of the Finger Club. His thoughts often stopped at that point"
A dark, yet kind and gentle amble through a character's life, as well as the lives of everyone in this small winter, seaside community he finds himself in.
The pacing is unlike, basically anything I have read before. The prose are poetic and so very odd. Chock full of stilted internal monologues or descriptions I can't stop thinking about. (See above for example.)
I don't think it is for everybody, but I loved it!
