Deliciously slowly paced, emphatically told story intertwining a stray of mixed, yet very relatable characters. A sheen of horror hangs over it, yet the story is told tenderly. Landscape and scenery are present forces, sweetly reminding of Joseph Conrad.

As the story unwinds, details of seemingly trite importance mesh together, emphasizing the greater (untold, mostly, but loudly so) horrors not dwelled upon. A feat of storytelling.
