I absolutely sobbed my heart out! It’s unimaginable, haunting and addictive. This is a story of tragedy perfectly executed. The pacing, the characters and plot are so well woven together. The unique story telling devices of fairytale stories blur the lines between fact and fiction, fantasy and reality … eyeopening and thought provoking… a reminder to never take anything forgranted. I will be reeling over this one for a while!!

Tragically Heartbreaking and Thoughtprovoking storytelling.
