it is such a small book, and yet it encompasses an entire lifetime. it shares dreams and hopes and fears and brutal moments with us. the writing style is simple and beautiful, I would even say the simplicity is what makes this book so impactful. there is nothing grandiose about it. it is simply a story relating someone's life, someone and yet everyone.
