“I guess you may not be here when I get back. You’ve been just great, Klara. You really have.” 

This single quote made me explode into tears and I haven’t cried this much reading a book in a while.

I can tell this is a beautiful, artistic, and thought-provoking book… but it just isn’t for me. I liked a lot of it, but wanted to know more than will be told.
