Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-07 00:00:00 Ajsb Ajhjhjhjh A short story of a mere 58 pages and 3.5 stars that tells the story of a physically challenged artist in his late 20's. Philip who has retreated from the world and taken up residence in an abandoned lighthouse located near marshland. This is where he trys to capture the beauty of his surroundings on canvas. He also provides a sanctuary to the birds who seek shelter there over the winter months. Frith, comes to him with the injured goose and overcomes her apprehension with Philip. They work with the injured snow goose and together they help the goose return to good health. Frith and the goose return the following year and over the next several years, this continues and with the returns of the goose, it helps to develop the relationship between the two young adults. This is a story of compassion it poses questions about the human understanding and the need for friendship, companionship, love and sacrifice. Written with honesty and an incredible amount of tenderness. Listed as a "Children's Animal Story" but I think you have to decide for yourself.
