...a profoundly sad story. But it's also wise, darkly funny and brave, told in spare sentences, punctuated with fantastic images... A story that lodges in your bones and stays there. * The New York Times * A thoughtful story that lingers in the mind. * Daily Express * A funny, moving story which brought a lump to my throat at the end. This is definitely one of my favourite books of the year. * Malorie Blackman, The Guardian * [A] significant and stirring book... Both realistic and magical, it is a fable about the complexity of our emotions, giving us permission to feel anger, and illuminating the nature of loss. * The Sunday Times * Patrick Ness is an insanely beautiful writer. -- John Green * TIME Magazine *
