Translated by Helen Mixter.
The sudden death of young Harvey's father and the disorienting grief that follows is hauntingly portrayed in this story of how loss rips an ordinary life apart. While the bleak palette and flat style of the illustrations match the emotional tone of the book brilliantly, the utterly unresolved ending makes the audience for this cheerless, albeit heartfelt, illustrated novel difficult to determine.
