A review by briandice
Mal de pedres by Milena Agus

5.0

Because in love, perhaps, in the end you have to trust magic - it's not as if you can find a rule, something to follow to make things go well, like the Commandments.

GR friend Melanie's effusive praise of this book tilted me towards an impulse purchase a few weeks ago. How lucky I am I followed that impulse. This is a gorgeous novella, and it deserves all the praise heaped upon it.

But what I really want is for a bunch of people to read it so that we can talk about those last two pages betwixt spoiler tags and its impact on the narrative, the themes, the magnitude of love. WHAT AN ENDING!!!!
