From the first line to the last. A piece of my heart will always remain within these pages. With Marie-Laure, Werner, Fredrick, Jutta and all the other colourful beings in this novel is a spark love and affection. The way there are a million emotions spinning around and it needn't be said by them but expressed is so very beautiful. The blending of a German genius's and blind girl's worlds is so incredible- I just can't express how much I adore this book.
