something about the way the story being told from the perspective of Lampo is so touching. Although it is a tragedy, all I felt when reading is love. I do believe no matter what situation we are put in, it is part of human instinct to find beauty and survive, because we always have love for life, and that is being alive.

before during and after turning vegetarian, the only major doubt for me was the identity carried by food. To say bye to meat, is to say bye to some (majority of) dishes i grew up with, which is to say bye to the culture, the childhood, the connection i could always savor from food
sometimes I don’t write reviews because I finished the book and was left speechless and felt like if I wrote down anything it would just disappoint me, because I don’t know how to put the feelings into words. This book is one of those books.
i need to get my book back and read it again
