"They teach you growing up that you are only one thing at a time - angry, lonely, content- but he's never found that to be true. He is a dozen things at once. "
This book made me feel many things. Intrigue, curiosity, adoration, suspense, wonder, reckless abandon, frustration that Addie was never more into travel beyond parts of Europe and the US. Every step of the way the times being featured reflected the social structures, values and expectations. Overall this was a fantastic reading experience and I loved the runaway thoughts popping up throughout my days about Luc's potential influence in our real world (who else has gone out like Beethoven?!). Time to dive deep into this author!
