The book The Ferry Man was published on 20 15. After the book was published, it aroused strong repercussions in many countries around the world, sold well in ten countries and won many awards. I was a freshman when I read this book. During that time, I was confused and distressed. I don't know what I should do in college, but this book attracted me deeply. I spent a whole day reading it and was deeply moved.
This book tells the story of Dylan, a single girl aged 15. She had a conflict with her mother and was often bullied by her classmates at school. She felt very painful, so she decided to find her father herself, but there was an accident on the train on the way to find her father. When she climbed out of the train, she found that she was the only survivor. It turns out that she is dead, and this is just her soul. At this moment, a boy named Tristan appeared in front of her, which was the pendulum of her soul.
It's a long and dangerous journey to get through her soul. During this journey, Dylan and Tristan gradually liked each other. After Tristan brought Dylan to another world, Dylan went back to the way he came, found Tristan and successfully brought him back to the real world.
I think in this story, Tristan is Dylan's ferryman and Dylan is Tristan's ferryman. Tristan took Dylan to another world, and Dylan left that world with Tristan and returned to reality. Fate is a lonely river, and they are each other's ferrymen.
At the end of the book, you are there and I am here.
