This was so deeply painful. A beautiful and complicated picture of the life of an aid worker, belonging nowhere. Of finding the truth and having to question the people that you have learned how to trust and depend on; realizing that they are capable of the unimaginable.

This was only on my radar because it was a finalist. It intrigued me, but one big thing I wanted was a conclusion, which I felt we do not get in anyway. This was a big detractor for me. I wasn't really sure of the trajectory and it felt a bit like the main character's life took away from the other events and I didn't see how that part fit. Overall, I enjoyed it, though it was challenging in content.
