I thought this story would be one of my favorites, but we diverged. It is not a bad story that people should avoid. It has a really clever message, it's well-written, but I don't quite believe that Peter would sit by a woman like that (not really voluntarily, easy now, just broke a bone in his foot) and no one would look, despite the letters? The boy's storyline didn't sit well with me, as showing Pax's new reality is to be believed. Complicated.

Mam problem z tą książką. Wydaje mi się, że nie jest dostosowana do dzieci: dużo drastycznych scen, ciężkie wątki poruszone jakby zbyt niechlujnie, a jednocześnie pompatycznie.
Rozdziały z perspektywy liska bardzo na plus, doceniam starania autorki; niektóre momenty z perspektywy chłopca też dość dobre.
Historia kobiety z lasu trochę mętna.

Jestem zakochana w samym wydaniu, przepiękne ilustracje, zbudowały klimat. <3
