Certainly things I didn't like or feel weren't as successful in the novel so it's not a 5 star for me, but it was incredibly impacted and I know will be staying with me for a long while
If you need a good cry, read this book.

in short, traumatising, long and tiring.
“‘Are you happy?’ he once asked Jude. ‘I don’t think happiness is for me’, Jude had said at last, as if Willem had been offering him a dish he didn’t want to eat. ‘But it’s for you, Willem.’”
