if you come softlyas the wind within the tressyou may hear what i hearsee what sorrow sees...and if you come i will be silentnor speak harsh words to youi will not ask you why, now.or how, or what you do.we shall sit here softlybeneath two different yearsand the rich earth between usshall drink our tears.-177bi-racial city romance.lyrical, simple, sweet, and as such, heartbreaking.That ending was so ABRUPT & HEARTBREAKING.
Okay, so I don't know where to start with how to describe how I feel. The starting of this book and the meeting at the beginning between Miah and Ellie is a romance I would read a thousand pages on and be okay with. I don't like to admit it but I really like love stories and even if they are sappy. You don't hear me complaining. I think everyone should read this, only to understand how it works, society. It might be written 20 years ago but that doesn't mean it changed. Maybe a little and maybe
Im so underwhelmed and disappointed :(. I honestly dont really know what to say. If You Come Softly is about Ellie, a white Jewish teen, who falls in love with Jeremiah, who is black. Unfortunately, there are a lot of consequences for the two of them together as a couple. It sounds like a pretty decent premise? Sort of a Romeo and Juliet vibe to it (which I hate that play with a burning passion). But I had high hopes for this book, but there were just so many issues that made it unenjoyable for
all the stars!!! this was so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. wow!
It seems like no one reads history; if you did, you would know that Jewish people were originally black (and some still are), so I don't get what's the problem with being with someone of color?!
