I had to hide this book from myself so that I wouldn't finish it all in one sitting. I'm not exactly sure why it touched me...so many soft voices and so many different stories...I wondered how the Professor reconciled his seemingly mediocre life with himself...what had happened between him and the wife that he adored.
