The Light We Lost was reviewed in The Sun in the U.K., and the reviewer had this to say about it: “This is surely the next great romantic epic… It is a novel that lives with you long after the final page. A book for a generation and a future classic.” Reading that line made me kind of speechless. Here’s the whole review:
