Pages of Matilda are filled with grief, pain, sorrow, death and longing.
The writing is magnificent and the author’s take on depression and grief astounds me. It is deeply emotional, telling the story of a girl’s unfortunate life.
I found it hard to read and I hope it didn’t put me into a reading slump.
