This novella is a stunning exploration of the keeping of memory, and the balancing act between remembering and honoring a painful history and remembering that you are not there, and you deserve to live too.

Confusing story, lacking in emotional or character depth. Was very disappointed to find such a shallow and unappealing novella since the concept was amazing

It took me a while to get into the story. The chapters skip around chronologically and have different narrators, which confused me further. However, I did enjoy the ties of this fictional story to real history.
