Out of 80 books read this year so far, this book has maintained a place in my personal top 3 for 2024. I loved it so much that I bought a copy for myself and lent it to my mother, who also loved it so much that she lent the book out as well, which got lent out again and again since. I don't even mind that I won't get my copy back as it was a story well worth sharing with anyone it finds it's way to.
