Both Alberto, the town Allora's coffin maker, and Tito, a mysterious boy, have experienced loss. Together they learn to embrace life and the promising future.
Interesting characters and alluring setting. A nice mix of realism and fantasy. Tito runs from an abusive father. The author covers the horrors of it with lyrical writing, no details, and almost magical setting. Would kids who have experienced abuse be offended by this way of presenting it? The book mostly focuses on hope and that a good life can exist even though one has suffered.
