    A bittersweet tale of love and sacrifice. Alissa’s convictions were both admirable and frustrating. The ending left me pondering. Worth a read.

  2. Revu Anurag

    While the writing was good, I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I hoped. The ending felt a bit unresolved.

  3. Anushka Srivastava

    While I appreciate the themes explored, I found the characters frustrating. The writing is good, but the story didn’t fully resonate.

  4. Nimish Yadav

    A moving story about the complexities of love and faith. Dahl’s prose is beautiful, and the characters are unforgettable.

  5. Arosh Kumar

    An intriguing story, but the pacing felt slow at times. Alissa’s internal struggles were the most compelling part.

  6. Yash Raypa

    Dahl’s writing is captivating as always. The illustrations added charm. The themes of love and faith were explored with depth.

    I enjoyed the setting and the writing style. However, I found Alissa’s decisions hard to empathize with.

    This book is a gem! The emotions were palpable, and the story stayed with me long after I finished reading. Highly recommended.

    A classic for a reason. The exploration of faith and love is thought-provoking. A must-read for fans of literary fiction.

  10. Parth Khatter

    This book was profoundly sad and beautiful. It explores difficult themes. The illustrations enhance the narrative.

  11. Adrish Roy

    A beautifully written story that explores the conflict between love and religious devotion. Alissa’s actions are questionable, but the book is still worth reading.

  12. Dhananjay Sharma

    Beautifully written, but incredibly sad. The characters were well-developed. I loved Jerome, but Alissa’s choices were hard to understand.
