I can see how this is so acclaimed. It’s a great book and a really interesting idea, while of course also being a stark reminder of how crappy people were in the past (and still are).
+ A tiny spoiler-like thing without specifics …it was great those sort of extra chapters were interspersed. I had been wondering and that was a great way to handle it. That last one, though… ouch. That one hurt. Beautifully done.
