“If my childhood had given me anything, it was endurance.”

It was my first lesson. Beneath the smooth, familiar face of things is another that waits to tear the world in two.

I would recommend the book if you enjoy a slow read because that‘s exactly how it goes in this book. You will read about slow days in exile and thoughts that sometimes bother you. Thankfully, Madeline Miler‘s style of writing makes the slow read pleasant. The reason I am giving 3/5 stars is the lack of events/action which is definitely more my type of reading

Madeline is an amazing author that deserves all the credit she gets for this book.
