I don't cry a lot when I read books, I'm talking about actual tears. In fact, I cried for only 3 books, and this one is one of them. 
 I was in the mood for a good historical fiction and I'm so glad I chose this one. It was beautiful, tragic, and heartbreaking. It was so well written. I loved the relationships, especially the relationship between Isabelle and Vianne, and Vianne and Sophie. The characters were stunning, admirable and vivid. Their stories have touched me deeply and they will probably stick with me forever.
