5.0

Livro excepcional, muito bom. Ele passa por várias gerações e não é um livro particularmente longo, mas há caracterização de grande parte dos personagens e suas peculiaridades. Eu acho isso muito rico. Cada personagem é tão único, tão excêntrico. O livro foi muito bem escrito, com uma mistura de romance histórico com realismo mágico.
A autora conta uma história que já se encerrou, então ela sabe tudo o que já aconteceu. Por isso, ela dá spoilers dos acontecidos durante o livro (quando alguém vai morrer ou se um casal vai terminar junto...). Eu, particularmente gosto disso e, quando bem feito, não tira o suspense e a curiosidade (e foi muito bem feito).
