This story is like a mystery wrapped in a fairy tale wrapped in the kind of story you just can't classify. Does that make sense? You never get a clear sense of place, although you have bits and pieces. There is a town. The boy and his parents live on a hill. Things have a post-apocalyptic tinge to them, but that's not the point of it all. The thing is: you are left to puzzle out if there has been a killing or a leaving, and then who it really is who knocks on the door. Typical of this author, many things are never explained. Seeing things through the eyes of this boy, you can't always be sure of what's true, or what's real; it has to be enough that it is real and true to him.
