![]() ![]() How quickly things were wrapped up-how nicely. This book, for me, was more about the characters and their journeys rather than the murder itself. ![]() My dad had his own nightmares and was haunted by his own demons. I don't believe my dad witnessed the horrors Carl did, although I am sure he heard about them and saw the fall out after. I always felt a distance between us, a wall, I couldn't breach. My dad was a Vietnam Vet and I spent years trying to get him to share and open up about his time there. His brother needs him.Ĭarl, truly was a war hero -even in his guilt for taking a life. As a result, Joe can't completely move on. In this case, a brother who is autistic and completely dependent on others. I also understood the guilt he felt leaving behind his brother. I could relate to Joe wanting to get out of a dysfunctional home, away from an abusive parent. I was left feeling a bit short-shifted by the end because of that, but otherwise it is a solid read. I enjoyed reading The Life We Bury quite a bit, although I felt there were several threads that could have been explored further for a richer reading experience. ![]()
