This book is about Vicky Edwards, 16 years old, who is trying to make sense of death. Vicky's grandfather is dying from leukemia. She spends a lot of time with this boy who has more feelings for her than she does for him. Towards the end of the book, she learns to come to accept that people die and she learns to understand the feelings she has for the boys in her life. Anyone will connect to all the emotions that she goes through during this story. ( ) This is one of my all time favorite books, I have a very loved, very used, and many times read copy, one of the few I grace with pencil underlines for my favorite quotes, of which there are many. Any time someone is looking for a book to read, this is the first recommendation out of my mouth. It always puts things into perspective, and it's my go to when things are tough and/or I need to contemplate life. This is one of those books that I come back to every few years or during times where I need to recapture that feeling of light and joy in the face of mourning and sorrow which L'Engle describes so elegantly in this novel. It is, perhaps, a "comfort food" sort of book for me. ------------------------------ I finally obtained a copy of the hardcover with this lovely cover art. Though this book is a little dated, it has held up better than some others of the same time period. The pace is a bit slow, and the romance is subtle rather than blatant, which may deter some readers. However, the sweetness of the story remains true, and the lead characters’ struggle with understanding death and mourning will still resonate with readers. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
