This was so good. The writing really made me feel for all of these characters and was so good at shedding light on a part of history I only know about on a surface level. The bonds between the characters were beautiful. At first I didn't know how to feel about every chapter being from a different character's view, but it worked so well with how they were all part of each others lifes. Almost all chapters had a lump forming in my throat and tears coming to my eyes.
