THE BURROW

by Melanie Cheng

This deceptively simple book is one of the most poignant I’ve ever read. An exquisite novel with mood shifts done so deftly, you won’t know how you moved from being unbearably sad to uplifted and optimistic by the end of this slim volume.​

The Burrow leans into the aftermath of a fractured, grieving family, yet its pages offer a gentleness that is strangely uplifting. You will feel like you have been given a glimpse into one of those many neighbourhood homes you have walked past and been curious about.​
