---

Groundskeeping is a quiet story with a lot going on under the surface. Cole manages to capture internality so well. His characters say much more with their actions and silences than they do with their words. If you're looking for a plot heavy book this isn't it, but if you want something that makes you think about life and connection and what it is to be a person trying their best to try their best, this is that book. I will be reading more of Cole's writing in the future.
