This is an excellent book, but it's not a book I enjoyed, if that makes sense. This is a story I'm glad I read, but I wouldn't want to read it again. I'm glad that the Anappara chose to tell this story through Jai, focusing us on the children who should be the center of this book and the real events it is based upon.
