    Ein Buch, das im Gedächtnis bleibt

    Das Buch überzeugt mit einem tollen, flüssigen Schreibstil und kurzen Kapiteln, die das Lesen sehr angenehm machen. Die Charaktere sind interessant und lebendig gestaltet, sodass man schnell eine Verbindung zu ihnen aufbaut. Die Geschichte ist spannend, emotional und zugleich schön wie auch tragisch.
