Wow, where do i even begin. This was perhaps one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it surpassed all expectations, I literally couldn’t put it down hence finishing it in a day. 
Perhaps my mind is still plagued from my weekend but this book felt like a hozier song and a madeline miller books elegant child. The references, the articulation, the length, the love story told through letters, I cannot begin to explain how heavenly this was I would like to inject it into my bloodstream please. I will say that the plot is hard to follow in places, but since that didn’t distract from the reading experience I won’t criticise it too harshly… I highly recommend this to you all :)
