A Monster Calls

I finished reading this today and it made me immediately think of my family, myself being physically a long way from them. It's also made me think about how I myself have dealt with the loss of relatives over the years - my grandparents in my teenage years, and more recently my aunts and uncles.

“A Monster Calls” is written in such a way that people of all ages can ‘enjoy' it... and that is a word I use loosely here.

It's certainly not a cheerful book, but indeed one that makes us think about how we deal with some of the monsters that cross our paths in life.
