That said, though, I am glad that I didn't. This is one of the most heartbreaking books I have ever read, but it is so important that narratives like these exist. Sashi being a young girl, just a handful of years younger than myself for a majority of the book, I strongly empathized with her thoughts and actions as she did the best she could in impossibly difficult situations.
War is devastating, for anyone and everyone involved. There is no winner, even when the fighting is over. And this story shows you exactly that.

I read this via audio, I think the colloquial terminology and dialect was hard to follow at the start which made me a little distant, I did slightly struggle throughout but it did get better. I think on audio alone I would rate 3.5 stars but that was my personal experience.
At the moment I would like to see this shortlisted but I think it could be one of the books that might be in the middle for me as I continue reading the longlist.
That being said I would recommend.
