Wow, just wow. I don't think I've been this absorbed by a book in a very, very long time. The book kept pulling me deeper and deeper into the story. I will say that I think it's worth reading the author's notes, as these help clarify how she chose to craft certain characters and how she tried to stay true to the Mila's memoirs while also filling in the blanks and crafting a compelling story. Highly recommend.
