Chilling and absolutely beautiful all the way through. I rationed this book and read it slowly simply to make it last longer. I loved the narration style so completely that I never really wanted it to end, and every step closer to the conclusion of the story was a sad one. Despite knowing that the ending was not a happy one from the outset, it absolutely shattered me to finally get there, and all I can say is that it was such a beautiful glimpse of how people work right down to their very core. I adored it completely.
