it was amazing

bookshelves: audiobook, 2021-favorites, favorites, historical-fiction

This book absolutely destroyed me in the best way possible. My heart aches for these characters, this story that consumed me with its lyrical writing, beautiful love story, and exploration of time, culture, religion, family, and the cruelty of fate.

The Stationery Shop is a poignant, moving novel infused with a rich writing style that left me in awe of how moving it was. This is the type of story I have been looking for in 2021, a book that would leave a lasting impression on me, that would have me hooked from the beginning, a story I won't forget.

God, read this book.

Quotes Olivia Liked

“Yes, she loved him. The truth of that was like a wave that washed over and submerged her in salty torrents, knotting her hair and stinging her nose, pulling the life out from under her. Of course she loved him. The earth was round, day turned into night, he was in front of her and she loved him.”
