This was a powerhouse of a novel for sure! I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into because the synopsis seemed very vague, and early on I was wondering if this was turning into a horror novel/ghost story. This novel turned into a story of loss and overcoming grief, with some supernatural elements (but I think those were more the MCs imagination and his brain's attempt to comprehend his grief).
The prose was very beautiful and I found many different times I was highlighting certain phrases and quotes from the story due to their relevance in my own life.
Thanks so much to Celedon Books for the ARC of this novel!
