This is an incredible book. I won't describe the storyline because you'll hear that a million times in other reviews. What I will say however is that this is one incredible book, so full of beauty and foreboding that it will crumple the strongest of hearts. Somewhat overpowering imagery coincides with subtle, yet passionate character development to create a book extremely worthy of the booker prize and any other awards there are. A classic of literature, to be savored again and again.
