"De wereld bestond uit mensen die de ene voet voor de andere zetten, en soms leek een leven alleen maar gewoon omdat de persoon die het leidde dat al zo lang deed."

Wat een ongelooflijk ontroerend boek. Hij is prachtig in zijn eenvoud, en het laatste stuk heb ik met een brok in mijn keel gelezen. Hij is mij net geen 5 sterren waard vanwege het middenstuk wat mijnsinziens niet helemaal bij het verhaal paste, maar ik kan hem aan iedereen aanbevelen.

It was a pretty slow read so took me a while and i am not sure why but i did not connect well with the characters. The earlier people Harold met seemed too coincidental. But, i did like how it ended as much as one can with that type of ending.

A lovely book to make stand still for a moment. Especially in this on going world to feel and understanding the things that are there but not seen, felt or hurt only if everything in you and around you slows down.
