"A True Story Based on Lies" by Jennifer Clement.
A truly amazing book. Clement really captures readers' attention by writing in simple sentences and yet their meanings need to be deciphered. It's hard to put the book down once you start reading it. It's one of those 'easy to read' books; like "The Little Prince" and "Kira Kira'. I simply love this book!
"I am made of Sinew and bone.
Swords and knives do not fit inside my hands.
I cannot hold an axe"
"For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease"
Aren't these paragraphs beautifully written?
Love you, dad. Love you, mum. Always
