"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.

An incredibly emotional book overall. I knew there was something going on very early but it’s slowly teased and the reveal is satisfying. The ending leaves you with mixed feelings but it’s accurate and I loved the character development. I’d highly recommend.

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.
