This book could be a perfect movie adaptation in my opinion. I would love to really visualise all the towns and cities in Europe that are mentioned in the book during this time, Paris especially. I love the mention of all the other big-time authors of the time sprinkled throughout. It made the story feel like a literary avengers in a way. The ending is heartbreaking. I wasn't prepared for it to be so gut-wrenching.
