A wonderful book, but I will not be able to say many useful things about it.
I have been reading it on and off, and almost only when I wanted to relax.
In any case, I am not very good at dissecting the story, characters, motives, structures, &etc.
It is about loss. Chance and loss. About finding a new goal, a new purpose again, about more chance, another love, and more loss.
About films that nobody has seen and books no-one can ever read.
A good book to reread in a couple of years.
