I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

vivizinha's review against another edition

4.0

"We were keeping each other company when we didn’t have any eyes or hands. Before our soul even got delivered".

What a beautiful novel about family, love, friendship, pain and grief. This novel centres around a pair of twins - Jude and Noah, going back and forth between their pre-teens and then adolescence. But it reads as an adult novel, considering the depth of the writing style and the themes in here.

Přečteno za dva dny čiré radosti. Jo, tak moc se mi to líbilo, i přesto, že jsem zápletku odhadla ještě před půlkou knihy. :))

Edit (2020): Nic se nezměnilo. Tahle knížka mě stále nepřestává fascinovat. Už potřetí mě rozložila a poskládala zpátky.

This book was magical! I didn't want it to end! Originally read December 10-12, 2014. My review is here.
