I really liked it. It's a very complex story with many metaphors and as the title suggest - there is just so much you cannot see at he first glance, when you read the story. Only after thinking through the events and interpreting metaphors you are able to fully appreciate the novel. It's beautiful, sad of course - when you consider the setting - but beautiful nonetheless.
I'll pick it up by tomorrow guys, hope I understand all those metaphors :)
I'm starting tonight. No guarantees on when I finish though. :)
I read this one a few months back and truly loved it. I usually love books with WWII settings, so it is no real surprise there. However, this book had a certain magical quality to it that made the story really beautiful. Hope those who are reading it truly enjoy it! :)Jeeva - I don't think it's that difficult to understand or appreciate. Given that an idiot like me could understand it, am sure you will do so as well! :P :) Looking forward to your views on it! :)
I'm getting it tomorrow! Can wait!!! :)

I am currently reading four books and, God ! I can't leave you enjoy alone guys so I think I will put myself into trouble and start the fifth!
Doctoralis, I share that feeling! :)
Approx 30% done. The book is sad, but has a melodious sound to it. Lovely writing!
I may start it later this month, if so , shall surely join in the discussion, though I find it really hard to pen down my thoughts in detail...
