ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- A young girl, an old woman, and all the snapshots of ordinary time in between!

This moving book can be interpreted in different ways. The text is sparse and yet the words are carefully chosen, with plenty of room for the reader's imagination to conjure stories. The illustrations (the originals are acrylic on rag paper) are quiet detailed, in soft swathes and washes of colour that blur and bleed over the edges, and repay deep consideration rather than casual glances.

A philosophical and sophisticated picture book that will speak to many ages, adults included. Lindy
