“Ahead of me there’s only darkness. It will swallow me. But I don’t panic. The panic is not mine to carry anymore. I can let it go.”

This is a tender story of love and grief and all the powers they both hold. It’s a fever dream of yearning. Longing for what was lost to return. Horrific at times, but in a beautifully lyrical way that will get under your skin and stick with you. The characters have such depth and intimacy to them all. I don’t think I have ever held so much empathy for an entire cast of characters from a novel before.
