An extraordinary, exceptional and enthralling story covering 24 hours and the people who are touched by Simon's heart. The writing is beautifully poetic and the translation superb (by a French Canadian so not an absolutely perfect fit with English English, but nearly so). It is a story of a tragedy and of a triumph, a series of moments exquisitely observed and described. I was immensely moved by this work, and will be adding it to my own library when it is published in book form later in the year: it is currently being made available on Kindle.
