The Spider Truces
by Tom Connolly
Basically it’s the story of a father who tries to shelter his child from anything bad. He tries to shelter him from grief, so Ellis doesn’t really know that much about his mum, and he also tries to shelter him from anything that might harm him. It’s a beautiful book about whether or not you can protect someone from life itself.
