“we are sometimes so happy, and never in our lives have we known more unhappiness. It’s as if we were working together on the same statue, cutting it out of each other’s misery. But I don’t even know the design.”
Will most likely think about this book for the rest of my life.
This book creates a complex canvas where love, obsession, hatred, faith feature in interconnected ways. The reality of human relationships and interactions, the questions plaguing our existence daily, the chemicals released when a person takes over your mind, the burden of feeling too much or the absence of any feelings at all. The denial of any connection, the rapid and unexpected twists life presents. Is there such a thing as a coincidence? Or are people meant to cross paths, leave an imprint, and embark on a different journey again. How do we interpret signs? How do we interrogate circumstances.
sometimes unreliable yet undeniably truthful.
