Despite the dark and emotional themes, I really enjoyed this book. I'm not an expert on language or translation, but I did feel like the translator did an excellent job here.

This is the worst book I ever read/listened. It doesn't even have a plot, only disgusting propaganda. Yikes

Maybe it was because the audiobook reader had a very childish voice, but every time the main characters age came up I was thrown that she was in her late 30s and not late teens. Her general ambivalence and lack of clear purpose also added to this, but maybe if I had read the ebook instead that would have felt more like a consequence of the upheaval she was surviving and less like an adolescent trait.
The conversations around family and belonging were well done, but either I lost focus near the end, or the themes were not drawn through.
The horrors of the upheaval were very difficult to hear, and those conversations were gripping.
