This book led me to understand something about what I want from friends and partners. What family can be. What belief and trust in each other looks like. Artistically, it's a masterpiece. Every panel is a painting. The art of the Staircase is especially beautiful. Every time a sunbeam shines through a window in this book, I want to be there to stand in it. I paused at the end of chapter 13 with the horrible premonition that someone (Elliot?) was going to die. I was almost right. I'm so glad I wasn't.
