Loved this. There's a line in this book about it being much harder to say something about a thing we love, than it is to say anything about what we hate. 
Ironically, I do have a hard time describing what I loved so much about this. Another quote, then: something about the necessity of encountering stories at precisely the right time in our lives. 

By the way, I read this in Dutch in a truly excellent translation that deserves a mention.
