Customer Reviews

One of the best

In a small undistinguished town,where everyone know everyone in one way or another, and nothing is ever forgotten, the lifes of several people are about to change. The descriptions are perfect and you find yourself sympathizing with all the characters, understanding their point of view.During one week the lifes of everyone will come to a U turn, and at the end of the week, you are filled with a feeling of pain and gentle beauty and even if the ending doesn't exceed the possible (and, perhaps, because of that) it seems that the remainder of characters' life will be different.A truly great book that will at first spellbind you to it and will leave you thinking after you will finish it.
