jannyslibrary's review against another edition
4.0
I liked it, didn’t love it; there’s a lot of really great lines and I couldn’t put it down, but… there’s just *something* that didn’t quite fully land.
“There are times now, and my life has changed so completely, that I think back on the early years and I find myself thinking: it was not that bad. Perhaps it was not. But there are times too- unexpected- when walking down a sunny sidewalk, or seeing a November sky close down over the East River, I am suddenly filled with the knowledge of darkness so deep that a sound might escape from my mouth.”

Non mi aspettavo di apprezzarlo tanto, è stata una sorpresa. Una scrittura molto semplice, dolceamara, ma tenera, a tratti ricorda quasi la voce di una bambina. È un libro molto triste, ma la tristezza è un retrogusto che senti sul palato.
