Oliver Loving was shot in the head during a shooting at the Bliss County High School dance ball and left in a vegetative state, wordless and paralysed, his fate unclear. Ten years later when a new medical test promises a key to unlock Oliver’s trapped mind, the town’s unanswered questions resurface with new urgency, as Oliver’s doctors and his family fight for a way for Oliver to finally communicate — and so also to tell the truth of what really happened that fateful night.
Although a little more literary and wordy than I would normally like, I appreciate that this book is beautifully written with poetic prose and intelligent narrative and that it genuinely deserves a little more attention to it when reading.
"Oliver Loving" is a heartbreaking tale but equally stunning. The author Stefan Merrill Block has a created a wonderful story of sorrow, love and hope that I'm sure will be hugely successful.
