[Jenni · Rating 3 out of 5]

My copy of this was an uncorrected page proof and so I'm not sure if it was true to the finished form of the book, but still it was a nice read. Very lyrical in style and a beautiful read. Wonderful comments on love and the sense of importance each person assigns to their own value and belief systems.
