A beautiful book that I will return to again and again, no doubt. The writing style was so immersive, you as the reader are immediately swallowed up into the world Jensen created. The narrator being the people of Marstal and the constant use of the pronoun “we” makes you feel connected to the characters in a way you don’t in other novels. A very wonderful tale.
