The cover of this books drew me in immediately. How eye-catching it is. It makes you wonder what the woman in the picture is all about.
The story starts out when a woman of 3 girls gives birth to a surprisingly quiet, beautiful baby boy. They find out the reason for his subdued, sweet temperament soon. Soon after the family receives an offer to move to the city (during WWII) so the husband could work for and eventually inherit a funeral parlor. As the main character decides whether or not she wants to travel closer to the war-torn city, she contemplates Death.
The writing style was a but off-putting at first, for me, but I quickly acclimated to the author's style and started to enjoy it.
