My Review:
How do I even start to review a book like this one? It touched me on such a personal level and is a book that will stay with me forever.
It is the story of a family, of the love between a father and a son, a mother and a son, and a husband and wife. How their lives are changed in the blink of an eye, and how they deal with the devastating blow life has dealt them in very different ways.
Beautifully written, it shows the harsh reality of grief and how it effects us. But it’s also a book of hope, of coming through the other side, of somehow moving forward whilst holding the memory of your loved one in your heart.
We Own the Sky is a book like no other and is one I will never forget. It is heartbreakingly beautiful, written with a brutal honesty that moved me beyond words. Devastating, yet somehow was still able to leave me with a feeling of hope. Simply incredible.
