Sarà un po' il fatto che sono cresciuta, un po' il fatto che conoscevo già la trama, ma se non fosse per il legame affettivo non sarei riuscita a dargli più di 3 stelle. La prosa non è brutta - la definirei mediocre - e la trama è abbastanza avvincente, sebbene molte delle connessioni tra i personaggi mi sembrino più forzate che geniali.
Peccato.

“I imagined Julián Carax at my age, holding that image in his hand, perhaps in the shade of the same tree that now sheltered me. I could almost see him smiling confidently, contemplating a future as wide and luminous as that avenue, and for a moment I thought there were no more ghosts there than those of absence and loss and that the light that smiled on me was borrowed light, real only as long as I could hold it in my eyes, second by second” (147)
