I'm not sure I have the right words to describe this book, especially since its so beautifully written and nothing i want to say seems good enough. It's magical, otherworldly, beautiful, heartbreaking, full of emotion and mystery. Every single character is unique and has a story that could fill a book on its own. The Washington she describes is like a different sphere and so vividly described, i can still see the images. The descriptions are breathtaking.
