Pigsense
Out of 20 books so far, very few have made me cry real cries. Pigtopia makes it two.
I. I don't know what to say. This is heart-wrenching but it is not in any way the cheap tugging of heartstrings that some books display. This is true heart-horror, terrible things all interlaced with the wonderful in ways that make both worse and better, bitter and sweeter. There is so much of innocence here -- innocence wise, innocence marred, innocence slipping away. There is the cruel failure of the world to accept that which is outside the norm.
I need a night to process this one. Book 21 will have to wait for morning.
