Our take
In A Human Certainty, the brooding, post-breakup narrator senses an ending wherever his thoughts take him—even a beach may as well be a graveyard. Balancing wounding honesty with wry humor, Morgan Quaintance captures the inescapable torment of heartbreak, where all is haunted and everything hurts.
