Non credo ci sia davvero un modo univoco per definire questo romanzo, é un’enciclopedia di conoscenze, di storia, di amicizia, di rabbia e di violenza allo stesso momento. L’autrice guida il lettore attraverso la storia dei protagonisti e nelle pieghe degli eventi storici che nei libri di scuola vengono lasciati da parte, non si può uscire da questa lettura senza essere ammirati, arrabbiati e spaventati al tempo stesso. Credo che questo libro verrà annoverato tra i classici della nostra epoca.xxlynxx's review against another edition

And if you think any of the characters can stay happy for longer than 1 minute... think again!
