Rezension von ElA story so moving and beautifully written. I loved the characters, I felt their pain and their love. We need more books like this.
Rezension von Amelie Berger"I turn back to the last letter. The hardest l've ever had to write. How in a few lines do you express the happiness another soul has brought to yours? The way your heart stops and your breath catches at the sight of his smile? The hope that he has reawakened within you, dragging you from the darkest of places back into the light? And the regret that, if he is reading this, then you will never again know the joy of holding him in your arms?" Beautiful heartbreaking book. I am speechless.
