3.5 stars

This little book really surprised me by how moved I was by the ending! It was slow to get going though, the first 100 pages don’t really do justice to the character exploration and development that comes later, although there is truly stunning descriptions of Canadian wilderness (I got Revenant & Surfacing vibes). I loved the slow progress Tom makes to becoming a good father, when his son does something terrible and must face the consequences. Quietly profound.
