A slow start but worth the wait for a beautiful ending. A very lyrical book to remind us of the ephemeral nature of stories.

An absolute masterpiece. How Doerr manages to weave together such separate threads, I will never understand. A love song for librarians, for books, for the sensitive hearts, for humanity. Truly incredible. (Will add that this book is best read quickly to keep track of the plotlines.)
