With thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
An impeccable book, devastating in its blunt discussion of deeply known truths.
Those who die, haunt. Those who survive, are haunted.
The question of survivors guilt, real guilt, justice, and madness threads through this story from beginning to end.
A story told with real emotion and a raw honesty about experiences still being felt today.
