This cover is so stupid. I mean, the love story isn't even the point with this book! Yes, it is there, but it's like a bonus. Had it been Elizabeth and Christian, it might have been ok, but not even that was the main point. I almost didn't read this when I saw that cover, and that would have been a big loss to me! I LOVE THIS BOOK!
It is rather heavy though. There are scenes that were almost unbearable to read. So if you are sensitive about the ugly truths of war, misery, human suffering, you might not want to read this book.
Though I wish you could try to tolerate it, because there is so much love, beauty and humor in this book... I feel my life is richer having read this story :-)

Also, the author waited for the very last moment to write this book... it's published posthumously. It was published in July 2008, she dies in February 2008. So, please, if there is a story inside you, please, please, please, tell it! It might be awful, but it might also be wonderful, and if it is wonderful, even for one other person, it would be truly awful if the story was never told. Please.
