This book really does take your breath away. But in a slow, subtle beautiful and somewhat surprising way. At the beginning I was afraid I had too high expectations, but I got what I came for and a lot more. It is sad, funny and sometimes feels almost too real in a way I don't think I have experienced in a book before. You won't regret reading this, no matter who you are.
Maybe this book is one of the secrets of the universe?...
