By far the best book I have ever read! Jan-Philipp has a way of telling a story, interweaving past and present, every sentence and paragraph filled with poetry and philosophy. If I was to start quoting this book, I'd have to memorize every single line!

Here's but a sample...

“I have often wondered what was the source of her beauty, her radiance. It’s not the size of one’s nose, the color of one’s skin, the shape of one’s lips or eyes that make one beautiful or ugly. So what is it? Can you, as a woman, tell me? ”
I shook my head.
“I will tell you: It’s love. Love makes us beautiful. Do you know a single person who loves and is loved, who is loved unconditionally and who, at the same time, is ugly? There’s no need to ponder the question. There is no such person.” He poured tea and took a sip.

A beautiful book.
