pick#EuropaCollective ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I kept putting away this book because I didn‘t want to read on, didn‘t want it to end. It is drowned in sadness. The desolate setting of a small Scottish island. A father killing his family, a surviving son.
Years later Tommy returns to the place that has haunted him ever since.
And yet. The “terrible beauty” of the island, the awkward kindness of his father‘s brother. Two men of few words, looking for answers. ⬇️

I am extremely glad it was selected as our first #EuropaCollective read as I probably wouldn‘t have read it otherwise. (Photo: Vassiliki, Lefkada, Greece) (edited) 1y
