"Wow. On every possible level... the imagery, the character arcs (triumphant and tragic both), the rhythm and word choices... and then the ending... back to poor Ginger, the workhorse drowned by the dock before they ever left Scotland... Everything circling back around... Wow." — Dec 02, 2015 09:21AM
