Povestea dintre Tish si Fonny este delicata, dar in acelasi timp dureroasa, pentru ca nu vorbeste doar despre iubire, ci si despre nedreptate, discriminare si despre cat de fragil poate fi destinul unui om intr-un sistem nedrept. Stilul lui Baldwin este profund si sensibil, fara sa devina exagerat sau melodramatic. Reuseste sa transmita emotie prin detalii simple, prin ganduri si trairi care par extrem de reale.
Cartea m-a impresionat prin sinceritatea cu care sunt prezentate relatiile de familie si prin modul in care iubirea devine o forma de rezistenta. Nu este o lectura usoara, dar este una necesara, care te face sa reflectezi mult timp dupa ce ai inchis ultima pagina. Personajele sunt construite cu grija, au slabiciuni, temeri si sperante, iar asta le face memorabile.
In ceea ce priveste comanda de pe Libris, experienta a fost foarte buna. Cartea a ajuns mai repede decat termenul estimat initial, ceea ce a fost o surpriza placuta. A fost ambalata cu grija, astfel incat a ajuns in stare perfecta, fara colturi indoite sau coperta deteriorata.
