Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta

I'm lacking proper shelves to categorize this.
I only got into it around 40%? It was confusing at first. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't take any of them seriously. But then /stuff/ started happening and I began to care. A little at first, then a whole LOT. Taylor grew on me, too. Somewhere around haflway through the book, little by little. At first I couldn't stand her!
Old mystery and wounds not quite healed despite years having passed, especially with kids involved? Sign me the hell UP. So when pieces of the puzzle finally started to fit and I realized a thing or two, made a connection here and there - it all fall back into place and I could love it. Hence 5 stars even if the beginning felt wobbly and unfounded.
I sobbed my way through the last 20% of it. It's still so raw. Also, I'm holding out hope for Sam. For I believe in lost causes. Even if life can be too cruel to care for them.
