Sometimes multiple perspective books can become too convoluted to keep pace with the varying storylines. Not with this book. 

This story is a heart rending journey through the Congo and London in two time periods-the early 1900s and the 1970s-90s.

Two children. One attic. A story that weaves across paths through pain, redemption, loss, and family.
