This book really was a masterpiece. But I feel like the little summary about it is a bit misleading. This is a book about Fosca, the immortal guy, not Regina, like the summary leads you to believe. Still interesting, but some of his backstory did feel a bit like reading a history textbook. But of course my favorite parts were all the ones talking about the nature of mortality and what it means to live and be a human. It reminded me of The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is one of my all time favorite book, and my favorite classic.
