I enjoyed the author’s writing, it provided a wonderful sense of presence, like the reader is right there with the characters and experiencing what they’re going through, what they’re feeling.
The Returned is a meditation on death and the loss of our loved ones, the sense of pain, regret and emptiness that follows losing them but also one of love, about the time we had with those loved ones long gone. I highly recommend this novel, it was a fascinating read.
