 ”Anyway, that's why I was still in the car, wondering whether to move it a little further up the hill, when I heard the first scream.”

This book needs no explanation. Human rights, what human rights, out of sight out of mind. It’s not even that far fetched from reality.

In one sense it’s so morbid and horrific. In another it’s about souls and humanity. A quaint county side with a trio of friends. A microscopic view on human interaction, love, forgiveness, anger and resentment.

I new this mellow book in all its steady pace and unremarkable events would still manage to break me. And that it did.
