Review:
As this is such a short book, it's hard to really write a comprehensive review without giving it away.

Quite simply, this didn't strike a cord with me. I didn't feel compelled by much in it other than the writing, which was pretty good. I wasn't connected to any of the characters, and I found it rather boring. I get that it's sort of a quiet tale, but it just didn't do anything for me.

I suppose I would recommend it if you want to give this author a shot, just to see if you like the writing style.
