I cannot remember the last time I was so emotionally devastated by a piece of literature.
The prose in this is so stunning. The book is unbelievably tender. For such a short work, it packs one major punch. I could have finished this in one sitting but had to keep taking breaks to weep.
Could have done without the Harry Potter reference but the book was such a masterpiece I'll let it slide this time in my star rating.
