DNF. I tried. I really did. I got halfway through & realized that I just didn’t care. I was bored & finding excuses not to read. And I love to read. I have enjoyed other books by this author, but I couldn’t force myself through another page. 2 stars because I can’t bear to give it one. I acknowledge that it’s well written, but I just could not anymore.

Although a bit confusing at times, I believe this is a brilliant work. I think it’s a fitting telling of her Grandfathers story, which is a story that needs to be told.

Louise always makes my spirit feel good, and it was good to say 'shnab words again. I would like to cut out parts and read them back to myself every day. Thank you for this blessing, niij
