Ollie and Moritz can never meet, because if they did, one of them would certainly die.
These two young boys feel separate from society but communicate and develop a fierce bond through letters that become a lifeline. They recount tales from their lives to each other and talk about their troubles.
But when Moritz reveals the key to their disturbing shared history in a mysterious laboratory, their friendship is tested.
I loved this book. It is beautifully written and full of emotion and mystery. I recommend that everyone read it.
