“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”

my first audiobook and it was such a beautiful experience. i felt everything on a deeper level while listening, and it made everything hurt a ton more.

i went into this book expecting the most devastating ending

and it was

but i was pleasantly surprised to read how everything came together at the end. truly beautiful.

I loved reading this book , i could also somewhat relate to the main character -- the ending was a little fast and not that loveable compared to the rest of the book but it was amazing ..

Absolutely incredible. Madeline Miller single-handedly wove a beautiful story that tore my heart apart and put it back together again. There aren’t enough words to describe how well written and conveyed this novel is. I can’t wait to devour it again.
