An unexpected gem. I got given this for my birthday last year and I had so many books I wanted to read beforehand that I’ve only got round to reading it now. It’s beautiful, I enjoyed every moment of it. I loved the world I was transported into so much I didn’t want to leave. Yes it has some heartbreaking issues but doesn’t life...? It’s truth and it’s real. Beautifully written and it sent my imagination into overdrive. Simply stunning.
