I’ve read other reviews talking about how the heart of the writing got lost in translation, and I think that may be true. I have to agree that the writing fell a bit flat at times.

Even so, the events within the story are heartwarming and some sad, yet peaceful. It both made me smile and tear up at seperate times. It’s a nice book.
