My god. I cannot remember the last time I cried reading a book, but I shed real tears. The unforgivable atrocities that these people faced, and yet the way that gentle humanity persisted even in the darkest moments was nothing short of astounding. I expect I will reread this book in a number of years. Truly an excellent work of history and art and love.
