4.0

Very well written although I did find it difficult to get through the reflective/descriptive sections of the book. The story is profusely sad, with any sign of light quickly consumed by the seemingly inevitable tragic event.The words “Fair” and “Life” rarely go hand in hand, this books certainly follows that premise. Overall, very good, but to me, not one I would be overly optimistic of picking it up again, maybe my view will change later in life.
