vallows's review against another edition

4.5

Es un libro que se lee de manera rapidísima, te encariña con los personajes y rompe el corazón. 
Llore muchisimo, toca temas fuertes que te generan un asco hacia la humanidad pero al mismo tiempo te da un toque de esperanza al presentarte a los personajes.
Los capitulos de anita se sentian como si ella fuera una niña y están escritos de tal manera que puedes ver su psicología. 
La manera en que esta escrito se siente muy real.
Es un libro emocional que te rompe el corazón y lo vuelve a armar.

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad medium-paced

5.0

A beautiful, empathetic story weaving together experiences of family separation and tragedy separated by half a century - a young boy (Samuel) sent on the kinder transport after Kristallnacht on the kindertransport trains and a young girl (Anita) who was separated from her mother at the US-Mexico border. 

Sensitively weaving stories of loss, the obstacles people will face to find safe places, and how families can be built in many different ways.
