The art transported me and the writing made me weep. I practically felt the loneliness sink into my bones seeing this beloved character’s large family slowly leaving him to lead a life of tending grave while unable to leave out loyalty to family tradition. For as quick of a read as this was, I found myself rereading or just staring at pages because they were so lovely. All in all, just such an enjoyable read.
