Tbh this might just be the most beautiful story I ever have the privilege of reading in my entire life. The fact that this is likely an autobiographical account of Gibran hurts so much more & my heart aches rn

Incredible writing paired with a tragic love story that despite it's short length, packed a huge punch and is definitely a book that I want to read again to annotate and mark down all my favorite quotes because oh my god, the WRITING was just stunning.
