There are no trite answers to the aftermath of tragedy, just a gradual discovery of the capacity to endure. Pieces of Sky is beautifully written, packed with longing and sadness, but also filled with hope. I inhaled it in enormous gulps like briny sea air and ...
There has been quite a buzz about this début novel, but perhaps because I have read too many recent Young Adult novels that use the death of a young person as a shortcut to emotion, I found myself largely unmoved by Pieces of Sky.
