(2) YA Davie wanders his British town and countryside, searching for the accused murderer of one of the older village boys. He meets friends and strangers, listens to their stories, ponders big questions, and sketches. Taking place in a single day, this story works particularly well through its authenticity of setting, dreamlike prose, and the specificity of one particular curious, sweet, grieving boy.
