This book is phenomenal and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. The prose is stunning you want to devour every word. I normally listen to my audiobooks at 2x speed but I slowed had to slow it down so I could fully absorb every word.
The story isn’t something I thought I would be interested in but Hanne is a great character to follow who you can’t help but love and understand.
The magical realism twist to the story was a welcome surprise that worked so well with the tone of the story.
This is a melancholic love story that is breathtakingly beautiful and emotional that I recommend for people who like Erin Morgernstern and ‘The Winter Garden’ by Alexandra Bell.
The audiobook narrator had a brilliant pace and voice for the characters. Hearing the different languages pronounced elevated my reading experience. I highly recommend reading the book via audio.
