Godfather Death by Sally Nicholls
5.0

a man looks for an honest man as godfather to his son, but fails to be an honest man himself--to devastating effect. macabre. humorous. gorgeous.

a perfectly paced tale that captures the daring and the hubris of humankind. you experience hilarity and horror; outrage and inevitability. it is wonderful.

also: Sarda is inimitable; just perfect and lovely in this project.
