Anthony Doerr wrote with an eye for detail that heightened your imagination as you journeyed with each character. I found it slow to start but the last 100 pages captured my mind and heart wholly. There were moments in this book that were so emotionally charged that I remember them as if I saw them. I thought it was really interesting to actually see myself in each characters shoes no matter the side they fell on. It did make me question, does it romanticize tragedy or does it help us to remember well?
