Thought provoking, lyrical, and reflective. I found myself completely absorbed by its pages. Although I usually prefer more plot-driven books, this had an allusive quality that mesmerised me. I couldn't stop reading. 

As someone who once dreamed of being a proof reader too, I found this aspect so interesting. I love reading so much though that it sounds like it is a good thing I did not make it in this career!

If you like books such as Cleopatra and Frankenstein I think you will enjoy this. It too handles some sensitive and personal topics, so keep that in mind.
