Thanks to NetGalley, Tin House Books, and Elliot Reed for the opportunity to read this most unusual debut novel. I love quirky and unusual books and this one fit the bill perfectly - I've definitely never read a story told in this format before.
William is an orphan, being raised by his uncle in name only - he is basically raising himself. He tells his story by way of a glossary of words - Absence, Lonely - starting with A and going through the alphabet, giving us a glimpse of the story of his life and the lessons he has learned along the way.
A sweet coming-of-age book - William will tug at your heartstrings! This is definitely an author to look for in the future.
