Re-read, December 2023:
This book defines the beauty of life and the magic in book. Reading this for the second is as rewarding as the first. Again I sobbed like a baby. The characters will forever remain one of the best.
Also, while reading this book for the first time, I came across the piano compositions of Gavin Luke, and it totally blends in with the vibe of this book. So, while reading now listening to the tunes is a perfect blend, a treat to the soul. Gosh, I love this book. No cap.
April 2021:
IT IS PAST MIDNIGHT AND I AM SOBBING LIKE A MESS. I just finished this book and my life has forever changed.
I AM HEARTBROKEN RIGHT NOW.
THIS BOOK HAS DESTROYED ME.
In this book there all were good people. Every soul was true to its character.
This book is a pure embellishment. I was totally hooked after reading the first few pages of this book and already knew that this book was going to CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. This book gave me more vibes like a literary fiction and coming of age rather than mystery. No doubt there's mystery throughout the book.
Unconditional Love, betrayal, misery, sacrifice, emotions, friendship, admiration ; all the things you will get from this book.
One must say that this book was very slow, but from this I come to realize the beauty of narration and the beauty of slow burns. Months before I would have dnfed this book, but now I am starting to appreciate this . Every characters' back story and their life seemed quite promising to me. Here every character had a story to tell that would make you feel happy, emotional, heart-warming and heartbreaking too.
I was shivering, crying and heartbreaken while reading the manuscript of Nuria Monfort (Nuria Monfort : Remembrance of the lost) which Daniel was reading in the book. There's so much pain and guilt that these characters carrying throughout their lives.
I don't know what I am writing. As people say, THIS BOOK HITS ME HARD, WITH GOOD HARD I mean!
-BOOKS ARE MIRRORS: YOU ONLY SEE IN THEM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE INSIDE YOU.
- THE DAY I DIE, ALL THAT WAS ONCE MINE WILL BE YOURS, EXCEPT MY DREAMS.
- WE EXIST AS LONG AS SOMEBODY REMEMBERS US.
