I tried to read this very short book quickly and I could not. It needed time. I needed to slow down and take it section by section and just let it sit and be a part of me. It's a beautiful story and the way that Lemberg quietly investigates what it means to age, to change, to lose, and to continue hoping is just perfectly done. 
And I enjoyed the extra little treats for people familiar with Hebrew. It doesn't change the story, but it does make it feel even richer.
