really learned a bit more about the history of both countries and it made me feel some type of way with the whole issue of maybe hating the country that gave you a life and at the same type made it extremely hard for you.
I really liked some of the characters, the flawed actions while trying to do what you believe is right.
I liked how this was a story of a family, but since it was a story that had to cover so many years, basically an entire life and all of its ramifications, at some points it just seemed like the writer didn't know how to ease you into some things. like people died, important characters died and there was no more than five words about their death. it all caught me off guard, not because I was not expecting it, (it is a story in the middle of very violent times) but because the narration was focusing on something else and then like an afterthought they would say "because they died 6 months before" and I just had to go back and check if I missed something. I didn't.
hated:
all of the descriptions of a woman's body. every single one of them, I could not believe this was written by a woman actually.
