This is one of those books that touch you so profoundly that you just sit there, staring at the last words and gently caressing the page, everything else forgotten.

At times it was so difficult to believe that this is fiction, not a memoir, for the emotions were so deep and so real. This books twists your insides and forms lumps in your throat, but leaves a warm glow in your heart when you finally finish it.

It is going to take some time to recover from the hangover this book has given me.
