The Arrival! Oh, that is perhaps one of the single most beautiful books I've ever read. Truly gorgeous. And I love, too, that it's completely silent throughout. We guess the story through context and gesture and circumstance, much like an immigrant who does not command the language. It's a wonderful extra layer, and I love it.
But yes, most definitely, the abiding impression afterwards is of something beautiful. *smiles*
