Andre Maurois
I didn't hear anything about this book when i grabbed it but then i was delighted with great story, language and reflections. Great read.
The book is an absolute masterpiece. it's very wars, inspiring and touching.
The book perfectly portrays the bond between family (here granddaughter and grandpa), values, love and loss.
I like the author's style a lot - it's simple but in a good way - clear and pure - its important not to make the book too "cosy" and then dull. It's really hard to believe that this is Obreht's first novel! I'm really impressed.
Marvelous and touching story told from female perspective. Both entertaining and informative. A real pleasure for mind and soul !
A very interesting book about a girl who moved from her hometown Hong Kong to US. Discovering the new place and people she also discovers herself. We can observe not only her external life struggle (school, work, family home, love) but also the inner one - how her emotions and feeling change. Very nice read.
This is one of my favorite books by Roberts. Usually I don't re-read the book but this one is an exception.
