My Review:

After reading fellow book blogger’s reviews on this book I had very high expectations for it. Let’s say its worth every hype! I love this book! The plot is a simple, tragic yet uplifting linear story. The characters are deep and felt connected with the reader. The narration is lucid,slow-paced, and emotional! often times I cried at the mourning lines !! I can’t decide is it fully because of the narration or me being very emotional! But the words definitely had a strong impact on me ! Especially the grief caught me so much than the fear and anxiety of other character! The brilliant story of two broken hearts get solace on one another and find a beautiful way to mend. Though I felt very sad in the initial chapters, it shows the way to come out of it in the end! Such a heartwarming, compelling story! There is no romance at least not in a contemporary way but we could feel the moving love throughout the story! Emotionally engaged, a deep story that I enjoyed so much!

Thoughts while reading :

• The narration is one of the great things in this story! The way the beauty of photography pictures described in the beginning is lovely. I won’t get surprised if someone pickup photography after reading this book! I fell in love with those beautiful pictures descriptions!
• Often times I felt a lump in my throat or tears in my eyes when I read about Luke’s grief! Somehow the story made me emotionally engaged and so the words are powerful enough to make me cry!
• The dog character!!! It made me yearn to have one! The way it’s part represented in the entire story, is awesome! Very subtle but definitely made the dog owners related a lot!
• The land and village description are also blissful! It made me imagine how it would be to live in a castle with a sea outside your doorsteps and a warm beautiful village surrounded by it! Oh !! I wish I could visit this place!
• The climax breaking episode is remarkable! I seriously consider doing this in the near future!
• After finished the story, I felt quite calm and happy which I think the very sole purpose of the story! The beauty of broken things, make us realize the beauty of our broken life!
