5.0

The mystery of the plot and message kept me reading in the slow beginning, but I soon fell in love with the book. It is an odd one, the plot not so important as what it makes you think about, at times almost a horror or thriller and at others a love story. It is a mediation on what we can forget and if we should forget, with so much heart. The narrative voice will try to decisive the reader many times but the truth can always be seen in the emotions.
