In my opinion this is a book about perspective. It's also about forbidden love, prejudice, jealousy, fear and the legnhts it makes you Go. But I really think the perspective is the most important.
It's beutifuly written, it makes you feel all types of emotions. I loved and hated every one of the characters.
My favorite part is the first part narrated by Patrick and I also love when Marion describes the smell of things, I don't know why.
It's very real, layered, it's that story that you read and it stays with you for a long time.
Patrick and Julia are my favorite no one deserves them.
If the dusches is not in the movie adaptation I'll be forever disappointed.
The change the characters go throughout the years are believable and tragic. I recommend it.
