While some found the beginning slow, most agree it quickly becomes unputdownable. The lyrical prose and philosophical depth add layers to this already rich tale.
Perfect for those who enjoy character-driven stories with emotional depth. Just be prepared for heartbreak—and an unforgettable reading experience.
