The Road

When I started this novel I wrote this:
“So bleak, I mean I knew it was meant to be but I i just didn't realise how bleak it could be.
Prose is beautiful, almost poetic. Images flashing like photographs into your mind. Shame so many are so, well, bleak!”

But having finished it, no spoilers, there was such beauty in the writing that the bleakness and the horror (and there were terrible things) were balanced by the hope and the love.

Stick with it, it's worth it - a short and powerful essay on humanity.
