Wow.
I started this book with no idea what to expect (they say don’t judge a book by it’s cover but this one was so beautiful that I bought it purely for the cover and the sprayed edges.
But the book was wonderful, I was immediately absorbed into the beautiful writing, completely immersed in this other world and feeling every single emotion that Hanne was feeling.
I don’t want to give any spoilers but I will say that I would never have guessed how the plot of the book would develop but after my initial surprise I was again just completely swept up in the elegance of the writing and just loved it completely.
