This was a truly beautiful little book and story. My brain struggled at first because it’s incredibly poetic and descriptive which my busy brain struggled with. But then, it took me all the way to Japan and I got sucked into its poetic story telling of grief and loss and the love that it causes to radiate of loved ones and strangers.

Some of my favourite quotes were:

- Anger is never solitary
- If your not prepared to suffer, your not prepared to live
- We walk on the roof hell. Don’t forget to look at the flowers.

Overall, it was beautiful. Initially I thought it could have been built out a bit and be a bit longer, but now I think the shortness represents the pace of loss and how your life simply continues.
