De fet, ni és nou ni original i abunda en la literatura actual, però hi ha autors que saben donar-los un tractament que acaba conferint una obra sorprenent malgrat que el tema sigui ja conegut.

Trobaràs a faltar per sempre més els personatges d'aquest llibre, la seva passió, força i complexitat. Una història molt singular i intensa, amb una estructura no lineal que sorprèn i et permet conèixer els protagonistes a fons... i a estimar-los, i a qüestionar-los i tornar-los a estimar i a perdonar... una novel.la d'extrems que busquen un centre. Sublim Maggie O'Farrell.
Recomanadíssim, m'ha tingut atrapada. M'ha fet passar per totes les emocions. Em declaro fan de l'autora.
He gaudit molt de com juga l autor amb el temps, i els personatges, agafant en cada capítulo, punts de vista diferents.
