The depictions of nature are that of someone experienced. I was initially hooked by the story of the man and woman. Upon finishing this book I just feel disappointed in Heller’s lack of being able to write a fully formed female character. Very sad ending that happens abruptly.
Moderate: Death and Death of parent
Minor: Rape and Violence
