Felt so bone-deep & so true to the experience of childhood memory, it's almost hard to believe it's a work of fiction. At 7, Thomas loses his mother to death, and then his father to grief as he slowly seals himself away behind delusions. Thomas tries, as "groundskeeper" to his family's hard, slow unwinding, to preserve and shelter the ghosts of his parents but eventually, devastatingly, he has to come to realize he can save neither of them. ?
