What You Can See from Here
by Mariana Leky
"What you can see from here is not always what there is."
This book was a metaphorical symphony of life itself.
Mariana Leky deserves all of the wonderful comments on this book. It includes every human emotion felt - from the high highs to the low lows. Life itself is a symphony. Not always understood but always a suprise. To capture it all in one book is almost never achieved by authors but Leky happened to do it in a snap. Her book was on many levels ground breaking and allows the reader to look at life from a different perspective as well as more closely to things we usually take for granted.
Each of her characters was special in their own way and just like in real life, everyone had individual traits and habits which made them unique. So unique that they really did stick to my mind. There was not a single character I happened not to like even if I did not like the specific personality. In my opinion, you can not NOT like the characters. And you sure would not want that something happens to any of them. But life has a path for everyone in mind and the earth will keep on moving.
What I did miss was a deeper meaning behind the story. This book did a lot for me and made me question life itself, however, it felt like the story was there just because life is like that rather than having a specific meaning behind it. In fact, it did stimulate my senses and my brain but it's a little bit thrown into the literary world rather than having something to grasp on before reading the book and after finishing it. Nevertheless - in my opinion, this book is an important read for people who feel disconnected from the world or people who loose themselves easily since this books really helps to discover what life is offering from the very beginning.
