I was hooked from the opening line and couldn't put it down! I had no idea about the depth of desolation and despair people endure. What a gripping and heartbreaking story about survival at the hands of tyranny.

Amazing story

Best book I have read in 2018. Period
Showed me a completely different reality that we do not know about at all.
