A true tear jerker. I could truly relate to this story and our protagonist, it made me feel nostalgic and brought back many memories from when I was a child visiting my aunt in the summer, the bitter sweet feels of leaving home and returning to another, and the difference between two worlds through the eyes of a child. This book is not only worth reading but I would read it ten times more certain I will love it each time.

Maybe the way back will somehow make sense of the coming.

You don’t ever have to say anything,’ he says. ‘Always remember that as a thing you need never do. Many’s the man lost much just because he missed a perfect opportunity to say nothing.’

He looks happy but some part of me feels sorry for every version of him.
