Chevalier has a knack for bringing a small corner of history vividly back to life. At the same time she explores the many dimensions of humanity in a soul-wrenching tale of pain, hope, loss and adventure.
Her attention to detail is immaculate and thoroughly researched. Chevalier has strengthened my affection of the natural world and refreshed my lust for travel.

A sad book with sad characters who go through a lot of sad events. This was not a fun read, but I somehow found myself enjoying it anyway. Perhaps because my problems seem so minor in comparison to those of the characters. Only one character gets a happy ending.
