Author

The short chapters of this novella evoke an air of mystery and sadness, and nicely so. From short chapters that capture so much to some well-worded lines, the writing takes center stage here. As the story unfolds and the past gets juxtaposed to the present, I found myself enjoying the parallels and the characters. Certainly, a sadness emerges amid a grandfather's struggles to remember. As the changes that accompany age team up with understanding--everyone's--it highlights something not only fragile but beautiful about humanity.

This was just a wonderful, very well-written story that moved my emotions. It is a love story between an old man and his grandson. It is a story we all may live someday as the old man disappears day by day. So much so that we all slowly face our inevitable sundowns and leave the world, giving only love and memories to those we leave behind.

From Louis' list on understanding each other in a troubled world.
