This novella is introspective ans utterly captivating. Our narrator is a young girl who is temporarily forstered as her mother is about to have yet another child. It's quite sad and slow-paced, dealing with heavy topics like grief ans neglect, but also safetly and comfort. Absolutely stunning.

‘You don’t ever have to say anything,’ he says. ‘Always remember that as a thing you need never do. Many’s the man lost much just because he missed a perfect opportunity to say nothing.’
