Breakfast at Tiffany's

Breakfast at Tiffany's is really a great book while staying quite simple. It's a recollection of memories of an encounter with a truly distinct and petulant lady : Holly Golightly. The way the novel is built bring us back to those memories, and I think I've never felt such a connection with a memory than through this book. For such a (too) short moment, I felt connected to the narrator and seemed to also get to know Holly, her bluntness, her character, her craziness, ... I can't really explain what made me love this novel so much, but there it is, I really grew fond of Holly and all her world, and while the book ends on quite an open note, it left me with a sweet feeling...

“You can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That's how you'll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky.”
