A fabulous fable of love, loss and family; timeless, placeless, compelling and beautifully written. A world where angry words become stinging insects, men can turn into beasts and infidelity is hidden by time-sensitive mists. It fits into the literary realm of ‘magical realism’, not how the world is, but how it could be if we let it. One of those books it is useless to talk about, you have to read it to appreciate it and I urge you to do so.
