Such a touching and delicate book. The story is so real that I wouldn’t bat an eyelid if they’d tell me it isn’t fiction. It’s a perfect illustration of what Karma means and the way all the characters are interwoven with their complex emotions is such a delicate and fragile work! 
Loved it! I believe the more times passes the more I’ll be thinking about it and the more I’ll love it.
