I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a short but beautiful novella by Sarah Pinsborough that explores a family’s grief as they come together to deal with the impending death of their terminally ill father.

This was really beautiful story and one that manages to weave dark, almost horresque themes with a little bit of fae magic, as well as a lot of normal relatable experiences in family life like strained relationships, love for siblings, addictions, mental health issues. It had everything and through the whole story, there was a beautiful truth about death. It didn’t hide away the hard bits about caring for a dying loved one, and the uncomfortable moments.
