“Elephants do grieve, don’t they? Rationalism’s just another -ism. Who died and made reason king? We’re animals.”

Thank you @randomthingstours for the chance to read Twelve Months and a Day by Louisa Young! 

The books a really lovely take on grief! It’s definitely a slower read but that makes sense because grief is also slow and enveloping! 

I also loved the use of emails and music in the book! It’s a modern update to the letter and in times of emotion humans turns to each other and music! 

#QOTD: Do you read in silence or do you play music while reading? 

“There are times, she thought, when a person has to recognise that desire and truth are not reconcilable.”
