It's been a few years and I was afraid this book wouldn't hold up. Fortunately, I was wrong.
I love the focus on the details, the simplicity, the old man as a character and the way this book makes me feel hopeful and sad at the same time.
There is so much to take away from this story.
Life can be hard and also good.
"He took all his pain and what was left of his strength and his long-gone pride and he put it against the fish's agony."
