The book is awesome, just perfect, I literally have no words to describe it. 
 The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavander (as the name suggests) is an strange, but perfect story. With the perfect amount of realism and magic. 
 It talks about the story of Ava, a kid who was born with wings. But the book doesn't just talk about her life, it goes way back. It describes the evolution of her family since her grandparents, ending with her story (Ava's). 
 "To many, I was myth incarnate, the embodiment of a most superb legend, a fairy tail. Some considered me a monster, a mutation. To my great misfortune, I was once mistaken for an angel. To my mother, I was everything. To my father, nothing at all. To my grandmother, I was a daily reminder of loves long lost. But I knew the truth. Deep down, I always did. I was just a girl." 
 The book has realism, sadness, love, happiness, mystery. That's something I wasn't counting on. I though it was going to be a normal book. But God! how wrong I was! This book is just perfect. It gets to your deep emotions, your dreams, you even can relate your own life with one of the character's. 
 The story has a lot of characters, (since it tells the life of four generations). But each character (having an important roll on the story or not) were extremely well developed. All of them where realistic, I even tough they were real persons. There where parts I thought I was reading the life of a non-fictional characters. 
 You can take a glimpse at each characters background, and with that, you can see why they where like that, why they acted that way, why they had such dreams, such ambitions, such fears, such way of looking at life. Most of the characters in this masterpiece have an important roll in the development of the story. (which makes this even more perfect) there were no characters without purpose in the book. 
 I totally love this book, I can find the right words to describe how this book made me feel. 
 I'm telling you, you will never find a better lecture than this one. Read it, and fell in love with it. 
 P.S. Mother of all good books and covers. Look at that masterpiece!! It's cover is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! 
 Its the perfect cover for such delicate and beautiful story.
