How do I even begin to talk about this book? I have so many emotions and thoughts but lack the words.
The writing is beyond beautiful, evocative and emotional. The characters—my god, the characters!—will stay with me, without a doubt, as well as their philosophies and struggles and triumphs.
If I have to put into words all that I felt while reading this book: it is the most fundamentally human story I have ever come across.
