It was a good book in parts. In others it felt like it lost direction and I felt unclear why certain details were being shared.

This book is an amazing translation, it always astonishes me when a translator is able to work the text into something that is as beautifully written as in the original language. This book is a study of love and what it is to truly be loved by the ones around us.
