I mentioned in an earlier update, that once a few of my friends had seen that I had started reading this, they commented on what a lovely book it was. I could not agree more. I fell in love with the way he writes within 15 pages. He made me feel, either liking, or disliking characters, as I should have. I have a feeling that this is a book that I will reflect back on quite often. It was a very memorable experience, perhaps even one that will be worthy of a reread at some point. I really loved Marie, Daniel, Etienne, Werner and Jutta. Even the ending was really quite perfect. There really is not a negative that I can think of. Do yourself a favor and read this lovely book if you haven't done so already.
