At first I wasn't really sure what to make of this. The books seemed to be laid out like an endless series of moments flickering, sometimes completely unrelated. It was hard to understand what it was really meant to be.
Then the point of it all became apparent. Very quickly. And it was beautiful. It's hard to imagine how it must feel to face such a thing, but the characters had wisdom and love far beyond my capacity. I saw a beautiful, peaceful and joyous approach to such a delicate subject.
Rarely do I give such a high rating to any book, but I really feel that this story deserved it.
