4.5
This would almost be a 5 star read for me, but I wasn't as invested in the present-time storyline as much as the one from the past. The latter was absolutely riveting and I was on the edge of my seat with all of the plot and relational tension, meanwhile the present POV was mostly uneventful travel for a good portion.
In the end, I was deeply moved by this book, and it's going to stick with me for a long time. I may eventually bump it up to 5 stars if I can't stop thinking about it.
