A true masterpiece. Words can't do it justice. Truly captures an age in more ways than one. I was spellbound by this story from the first page, never knowing where it would take me, devouring every nuance, every breath the characters took, their very essences. I read it before I even knew a film was being made of it, and when I saw the film I was happy they had captured the spirit of the book, but no film will ever be able to portray everything that happens in this book.
