A short love affair
I'm reading this book 'Hunting and Gathering' by Anna Galvada now. It was made into a movie, casting (who else?) Audrey Tautou. Last year, I think. But I missed that.
It's a really charming story. Just today and yesterday, while reading the book, I've muttered more than 5 times to myself, 'this is such a charming book.'
I was drawn into the story by page 3. It's a bit like falling in love. Chuckling at the wit of the characters, sharing the loneliness each of them goes through and enjoying the little happy things that turn up at the most unexpected time for the people in the story.
It's like reading The Year of Magical Thinking, but with so much less pain.
A good story makes you wish that it will never end. And when it does, you know you will go back to it again.
