I genuinely have no coherent thoughts about this book like I wish I could define the numerous things it made me feel from the bookshop scene to Januzs leaving Ludwik only a cigarette for the last time to Ludwik finding the piece of paper tucked by Januzs in the pages of Giovanni’s Room to everything else 😭 God it’s sickkkkkk

“It sounded like an appeal, a right violated and invoked. My hand on the door handle, my back to you, my heart pulsing in my temples. I could sense the word throbbing in the air.”

I never knew leaving could be this beautiful. My life is ruined.
