I feel like this book has taught me something, which is always a plus for me. There is a risk with historical fiction to go too deep into the details and lose the crux of the story, but this novel adhered to it's core message well.
Heartbreaking, beautiful and poetic. I may have to purchase my own copy so I can read it again.
