I REALLY wanted to like this book with it's beautiful cover and promise of being both "poetic" and "moving". Unfortunately, I skimmed through the last two thirds of the book after reading the first 100 pages and feeling like I've read a page's worth of information. For me, it was very long winded and spent a lot of time on details that just didn't matter. I hate feeling this way about a book but I just couldn't find my heart in it.
