Breathtakingly beautiful prose. A book to make you feel and experience rather than just observe. Williams is a true wordsmith. (

A really moving story about how a father/husband who becomes so deep in grief the relationship between him and his son is jeoparised. The story highlight's how love is not easy on all levels. (
