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

williamgideon's review against another edition

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

The language was beautiful but I just couldn't resonate with it since Gibran has a very idealistic worldview. Plus the edition I had was full of typos.
