This had been in my tbr box for ages because the blurb on the back makes it sound a bit naff, but it won the Pulitzer Prize so I gave it a go. It's amazing, so beautifully written and so nourishing for your soul. Once I started I didn't want to stop, I thought for a while the ending was going to spoil it.. but it didn't, that too was exquisitely done.

This book deserves every single award it won. But: I enjoyed very little of it.

Superbly written. stunningly beautiful. Pulitzer Prize winner.
Totally and completely lived up to the hype. First book I've carried around to read in any spare minutes in awhile.

Touching. Sad. A book that proves even big books can be read quickly when they’re engaging.
A must-read. Or better still, must-listen.
Most beautiful book I have ever read
