About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, human-scale story about childhood responsibility and perseverance, similar in spirit to The Wind Will Carry Us; Not for you if you dislike slow pacing and small-stakes plots.
Pros: heartfelt childhood perspective; warm village atmosphere; simple moral stakes | Cons: slow, repetitive pacing; frustrating adult indifference; thin plot for some
