Jesus. What an immense & powerful bleakness. I was on edge. I was terrified for them. My heart was on the brink of breaking throughout. 

I picked up this book wanting to be moved, and it absolutely delivered. It was harrowing, brooding, aching. I'm in pieces now.

“In the nights sometimes now he'd wake in the black and freezing waste out of softly colored worlds of human love, the songs of birds, the sun.”
