A very short note to say that this was a delightful reading experience. The speed itself renewed faith in reading fiction, and the magic of fiction. Loved that the book stands for itself, like its characters. Strong, vibrant, life lived well, as in lived fully, by giving one's all. Little else I can do at the moment except look more from her or more thoughts about the book. Joy and delight. Although the tale is not all happy, there is a calmness and peace, a fullness. A mental strength. Strength and joy are the carried away emotions. Many things to note down, perhaps if I read it again.
