This is the most beautiful book I have had the opportunity to read. It and ‘Peace Like a River’ carry such a familiarity to them it is impossible to dislike them. I feel at home while reading this book.

My cry counter is at 5. This is one of the most excellent books I have ever read. I haven’t even finished it and I already wish I could read it for the first time again.

This is one of the most beautifully ordinary books I have ever read. I can already tell it’s going to be a five star read. I have already cried once. More tears are sure to come.

“When pollen settled like a lemon patina on every exposed surface in the city.”
“Perhaps every son of Portugal has the sojourning spirit of Magellan in his blood.”

And it’s only the first page???
