Holy moly this was such a hard read but the language used...it was so beautifully written. I cried as much from the story as much as from the writing. I appreciate the author telling this story and bringing more light and attention to this forgotten period of our history and people.

A tremendous amount of grief written and weaved so beautifully into a work of art. Unlike anything I’ve read before. 

A note to read the acknowledgements of this book, if you don’t usually! It adds a layer that is extremely valuable to the experience of the story.

I can’t in good conscience say you will have fun but the writing is worth the pain and heartache. But I was sobbing uncontrollably at the end, so reader, be warned.
