The Discomfort of Evening - Lucas Rijneveld

Whoa! What a debut from Dutch writer Rijneveld, deftly conjuring the story of ten year old Jas, a Dutch girl grieving the loss of her brother in an ice skating accident. The book won Rijneveld and their translator won the 2020 International Booker Prize, and that is a BIG deal. The subject matter is tough, but the story and the way that it is told is luminous. Gently read copy found in Paris.
