What a very intriguing and interesting thing to think about! It is very true, each and every day we go through things that have the power to change us.
I agree as well, and also this is the thing with good books, that over time you still keep thinking about the story and the characters, you may change how you think about it and it means that you are somehow growing as a person having more points of view or even a more enriched vision of life.
It's fun to consider those books that really stay with us over the years, and not only change our way of thinking in consideration over the material, but also reflect a change in how we feel about the book itself over time.
You are both very accurate in your descriptions on how the meanings of our favourite books change over time and what in turn that means about the changing course of our own lives. Not only do events and activities in our daily lives change how we act and see the world but the books we read have the opportunity to change us as well. When we come across a book that sticks with us for various reasons it does truly have an impact on the way we live, love, and think.
I have now started my search to find authors that write similar books to “Attachments”. I am in real need of finding another book that is as touching, is truly heartwarming and has the power to bring out such a variety of emotions in me.
That may be tricky, but I do have a recommendation for you...
Oh do you?
I have one or two ideas myself. I will have to see what they turn out like.
I'm really not sure I've come across a book quite like Attachments.
Hi Kristin, have you read "Me Before You" or "One Plus One" from Jojo Moyes?
Hi Alex, no I have not read either of those yet but they are on my to read list for sure. I know quite a few people who have enjoyed them. Thanks for the suggestions!
