A poetic read.

I thought I’d give this a go based on some really good recommendations.
It’s a superbly written piece of work which I devoured BUT and a big but, by the middle of it I need to be honest here, I felt quite depressed and miserable.

I don’t think I knew what to expect. Yes it’s got the word “death” in it so I was expecting some grief.
Listening to this being read by the author on audio took on an entire meaning as it’s read harrowingly.
The voice is somber and I just don’t think (looking back) I should have chosen to read/listen to it.

Not with all the deaths with the pandemic etc.

Nicole This book isn't on my list but if it ever made it there, I'll make sure to stay away from the audio.. this book sounds very bleak. Great review, Sue!

I don’t wish any negative thoughts on this seeing as the author was reading it, but the voice and monotone fitted the subject. Very down

Thank you Tina. Some I know liked it. I think she’s written poetry books before and this is sorta poetry (ish) but as a novel. If you know what I mean

NZLisaM No one wants a book to make them feel miserable. Hope your next book is less heavy, Sue.
