hmmm ….

i think this is a beautiful book on grief - especially on the grief of losing a pet & having to leave behind a place filled with memories but something about it made it not be my favourite read. i think maybe my issue lies with the translation - which is fine. things get lost in translation alll the time i get that. overall not a bad book
