I was told that the hardcover edition is mindblowing, and I don't doubt it for a minute!

Having 'only' seen the laptop copy, I am already won over by the magic of the pictures, which unsurprisingly, if one considers the bond between authors, matches the poems perfectly.

Often, as I came upon a new page, I was struck by the beauty that jumped out at me, left without breath. The brilliance of the composition, the choice of colours, the emotions conveyed by Greetje's pictures is impressive.

As for the words... I had already read many poems by Angela van Son, so I was not surprised by the quality of her work. She didn't disappoint. She uses simple, everyday words to ask deep questions.

Many times, between the pictures and the words, I read a page and had to close the book there, to let that sink in, to let the experiences simmer within, to let the lessons be fully learnt.

This is not a book to be devoured once and done, this is a book to be savoured, where you come back for seconds, and thirds and more. And the beauty of it is, it keeps on giving every time.

Ooh! Before I forget! If you get the virtual version like me, be sure to select the 'double page' on the PDF viewer you use, to get the full experience!

There is depth in being human and there is beauty in being human. Both becomes obvious in this book. Togetherness seems to be the hidden agenda on this book that's a joy to discover. Both light and shade find themselves and enjoy plenty of space in the pictures and the poems. If both were not stunning on their own, the effect of their coming together is breathtaking. As much as you'll enjoy the virtual version, I can only strongly recommend getting the paperback version - worth the investment. It's a joy to look through the book thoroughly or flip through it if you need a quick break from stressing out. And last but not least the togetherness of this family project can be felt in the whole book - its lyrics, its pictures and its editing. In short - it's done with love.

The images are absolutely incredible! Some haunting, some just breathtaking and others to be interpreted by the reader. The poems and the way language is used is terrific. A work is art worth having!

Photography is amazing. There's beauty in black and white pics. And haunting. There's something eerie about them.

The poetry though, the font is too small to read. You can't even zoom in to read them. That's my only complaint. I assume the poetry is beautiful.
