David Grossman wrote this peculiar (in the best meaning of this word) book after losing his son in a war and this is in a way a record of grief, pain and the lack of agreement and acceptance for the death of a child. It’s painful to read, it rips something from your heart, it makes you sympathize, you co-feel with the characters. It’s a short book but I read it for quite a while, as it was in a way a scary read. I don’t think it’s because I am a mother myself, mostly I believe that every person who has someone important in their life can empathize easily. Still, a child’s death in young age seems something against nature law, something that shouldn’t be happening. But of course it does. And it’s so petrifying. There is no real plot in this story, it’s a mix of a novel, drama and poetry. Every word is so precise, so full of emotions, so right in its place. I was astonished. It’s personal, screaming while the characters whisper, not able to find the words to express their pain, they speak in a way you feel it. There is no making peace with grief on the pages, although there is some semblance of hope it may be possible. I hope it is.
