Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida

4.0

This book made me ache. It had such a bittersweet, sharp poignancy to it that I read it nearly in one sitting. There are books that affect us because the characters are so close to ourselves; and there are books, like this one, that paint characters that are so moving it's not important if they're like us or not. I can't say I understood all the choices the character made, but the character had a different background and life than me. Which is exactly why I liked reading it.
