Finally got around to reading this book after having it sit on my TBR list for years.  Halfway through, I found out it is a true story (I either forgot or never knew.), and that made it even more engaging. 

I'd planned to read the ebook but ended up doing audio. That made it a bit hard to keep track of exactly how all the people were related though I could still keep track of each of the storylines without much fuss thanks to the narrator, Kathleen Gati.  She was so good at languages, accents, etc. that she made me feel as I was witnessing the story unfold in each of the parts of the world it was set in. I will definitely be looking for more of Gati's narrations.  I also can't wait for the Hulu series to stream later this week.
