Understated.
I really don't have any useful or stunning observations. This story is peaceful, which when one thinks about all the things going on: slavery, subsistence farming, grief that it would seem overwhelming. But it's not. There's an acceptance, and unspoken choices that give the feeling of quiescence.
Too short to rate higher, I feel as if we've just met Petre and Anton, and while there is a resolution of sorts it feels like not enough. Clearly, this could be a companion piece to something more. Nonetheless, it is a pleasant coffee break read.
