I'm one of those readers who dislikes being pulled backward and forward in the timeline of a story, so when an author manages to make it not just effortless but beautiful, that's five stars. I can't remember what this story structure is called, but Harper uses it beautifully. ( )

I really enjoyed this story that reflects today while thinking of the past. Beautiful story. ( )

Beautiful, just beautiful! Perfection in the guise of a short story! ( )

I very much liked this story.
It was a rather short, but sweet one, about two boys/young men who met in the 80ies in rural Iowa and against all odds make it together.
Very enjoyable read! ( )
