Wow, what an absolutely stunning novel!
Bewertet mit 4 Sternen
I was not expecting such a gripping and unique novel, and my mind is still reeling with all the impressions. The story was sad on so many levels, but also full of hope and beauty. Though I must admit it was quite strenuous to read a whole book in Sal's language, what with the vocabulary and her strange way of talking (at least to me - challenging books like these reveal it's not my native language). But then again, Sal's voice made the whole story much more intense.
While I was a bit disappointed with the ending, I know that hoping their way of life would never end was wishful thinking and couldn't possibly last forever. I am glad I delved into the book unprepared and with only a hint of knowledge about what would await between its covers. That way, the book was able to completely overwhelm and surprise me. My advice: go grab this book and read it! Now!
