I don’t write because I think I have something to say. I write because if I don’t, everything feels even worse.

There isn’t much to say about this book; it’s not the kind of novel that you need to pick apart and deeply analyse. This book explores grief and the importance of memory, explores how some writers have to tap into grief, pick at old wounds, in order to create. This was unexpectedly cosy. Genuinely. Because I’m also a writer and because I’m also very well-versed in grief, this book resonated deeply and was undeniably comforting.
