this is my most favorite book of all time. it is so so so so beautifully written, it brought back my belief in humanity and love and broke it at the same time. if you are looking for, not a sobbing and tear filled sadness, but a empty sadness in depth of your heart that leaves you speechless, tis book is for you. another thing, i would HIGHLY recommend reading this BEFORE because this book is soft and intimate and Circe is so serious compared to it, you may not be able to enjoy The Song of Achilles and feel it to be a bit dilly-dally.
