Was it the author’s intention to explore what grief can mean to a man when men are supposed to be strong and unemotional about tragedies? Or was this a picture of a person deranged by grief, who needed psycho-therapy to re-enter the real or solid world?
Our group was divided about these issues which resulted in a very lively discussion. It’s a tough read for anyone thinking of tackling this book. Half of our group did not finish the book.
Our May book is Stone Sky, Gold Mountain by Mirandi Riwoe.
