A book I picked up on a whim, wanting to read something different and out of my reading genres. And gosh was it worth it.
The writing is beautiful and captivating but also haunting and sad.
I loved the mixture of writing styles from free verse to transcripts to poems. It really fitted with the character Wolfie and what he goes through.
A book I would 100% recommend to others. I just wish it was a bit longer, despite a satisfying ending, but I'll just have to read more of Godden's work instead.
