The encyclopedia of closure and all its attendant emotions

This is a book I will miss. You'll miss it too. Not in the great story coming to an end sense or in that difficult to pin down 'what's it about this book that I love' sense. But in an an entirely different way. This a memoir about memories written in this lovely person's strikingly individual voice that's somehow universal.

A marvellously sparse tale that puts you in the shoes of three very separate human characters (well one of them dosent think they are 'just human') and their idiosyncratically messy life. Deeply moving. Deeply humane.

A sweeping epic of a displaced people and the relentless violence that surrounds them... a challenging read (in terms of scope and size)but tremendous stuff.
