No el puc comparar amb res del que he llegit i per això em costarà explicar-me, ja us aviso. No és un llibre romàntic, encara que té parts que si que ho són. Hi ha un misteri que vola per sobre els personatges i que treu el son a més d’un. Contar alguna cosa sobre la trama seria trair a l’autor i us ...
