The best way I can describe this book is the feeling you get when you are hugging a friend but it's a bittersweet hug because the two of you are sad yet thankful that this exists. I'm glad to have been given the chance to read this book because everyone that was intertwined played a role in Tova's life in ways I didn't think possible. Characters who are older than 60 need more stories being told about them because your life doesn't stop when you reach your 30's 40's or 50's.  I like the play on the title as it relates to both humans and Marcellus. Speaking of which, I wanted more of Marcellus !
