Both the subject and the style of this book had me entranced.I read it through in most of a day, and yet wanted to read slowly to savor the way Petterson described feelings and events. Several pages about the father-son not verbally communicating, then finally briefly hugging are so moving that I plan to read them to my grown son, who is too busy to read much himself.
