Poetisch und warmherzig
Sarah Winman erzählt in ihrem Buch eine bewegende Geschichte über Familie und Freundschaft. Der poetische und warme Schreibstil macht das Lesen angenehm. Die Charaktere sind skurril, aber dabei liebenswert. Das Buch ist leicht zu lesen, aber voller Emotionen. Mal melancholisch, mal zaubert es einen ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht. „So war sie immer: dankbar für das Leben an sich. Ihr Glas war nicht nur halbvoll, es war vergoldet, und man konnte sich immer nachschenken." „Nichts bleibt lange vergessen, Elly. Manchmal müssen wir die Welt nur daran erinnern, dass wir etwas Besonderes sind und dass es uns noch gibt.“
this was a beautiful beautiful book! in the author's note (which i loved, like all the extra content) sarah winman said for her, it's about love in all its forms. and it's about second chances that life hardly gives, but that she gave her characters in this novel. and i think this is exactly why i loved it. the family was so lovely and i'm a fan of unlikely friendships and chosen families etc., and i enjoyed reading about how they all love each other so much. and i also enjoyed reading something where everything turns out good despite bringing change. it's kind of healing. and i didn't mind it being unrealistic -it made the book feel like a fairy tale in some ways. the only reason i'm not giving it 5/5 is because it took me so long for me to read and i had to force myself to pick it back up sometimes as it just didn't stay captivating all the way through, especially in the beginning. still such a great book!!!
