Hauntingly beautiful. Soaking myself with the words and details. I hope the pages never end. ATLWCS reminds me of The Book Thief.
I love how the story is told. Parallels stories, alternating between the blind girl and the orphan boy. The pacing is a bit off but it suits. Unhurried. It suits the style and the story itself. In fact, I was comfortable with the pacing, which I usually don't in most slow-paced book. Sweet and smoothly flowed.
I was 'waiting' when will the main characters finally meet. It was short and sad, but meaningful. I need to say it again that I am very much in love with details and the language. All the feelings, touches, senses etc are very well defined and expressed. I love the connection between the characters especially between Marie and her father and Marie and Madame Manec.
I highly recommend this book. It's so good I will some time reread it in the future.
