In act three the three shadows go after an evil man, and I thought it was this slave trader, but it wasn’t. He is the worst kind of human who sells women to other evil men. Spoilers ahead: In act two a slave trader is introduced. It was unexpected and kind of ruined the book for me.
Acts 1 and 2 play off that ominous beginning with the parents reacting each in their own way.īut the 3rd act takes a left turn. Very early in the book three shadowed beings show up on the hillside and it’s implied that they are here to take away the boy. The book is about a family consisting of a father, mother, and a son who live out in a quaint cottage in the countryside away from civilization. I came away from this book loving the art, but not being too impressed with the story. This book came recommended by a friend and was described to me as an artist’s way to process and understand what his friend was going through after finding out his son was diagnosed with cancer.
