Helpful Score: 2


I thought this was a fantastic book and would highly recommend it. The main character is wounded and has lost the ability to speak and write and therefore finds communication difficult. Because it is from his perspective we get to hear his thoughts and frustrations even though those around him cannot. He is forced to care for a friends' son and you can imagine the difficulty this would be to him, first the actual care involved but also the need to get out of his comfort zone and put the needs of the boy first. It was beautifully written and I was so sad for it to end.
