I think the less you know about the story of this book, the more interesting it becomes, which is why I don't want to elaborate much on this review.
The story deals with themes like love, family, loneliness, violence and prejudice.
I found the writing very beautiful and I will certainly read more works by this author.

“His dad had told him many times that the definition of a real man is one who cries without shame, reads poetry with his heart, feels opera in his soul, and does what's necessary to defend a woman.”“I wadn't aware that words could hold so much. I didn't know a sentence could be so full.”“If anyone understood loneliness, the moon would.”

Some elements were a bit farfetched, hence the 4 stars.
