Just started 'Death and the Gardener' and Gospodinov’s prose is already breaking my heart in the most beautiful way. There’s a certain stillness in his writing that makes you want to hold your breath.

Nearing the end and every sentence feels like a heavy sigh. This isn't just a story about death; it's a philosophical treatise on memory and the inevitable end of childhood. Truly moving.

Halfway through and I’m struck by how Gospodinov transforms grief into something organic. It’s not just about loss; it’s about the 'botany of sorrow' and what remains when a life fades away.
