What a beautiful story about life, love, and loss. A young man goes on a quest to find meaning in his life. The people he meets along the way change the course of his life forever. Moral of the story: Maybe we already have everything we need to be whole right inside. I could see myself as the protagonist, going on a journey to foreign lands with strange languages. I daydream of that journey…I would recommend this book to anyone, just as a good friend recommended it to me.
