Interesting premise for a story where five children who died in a bombing during WWII get a "reimagined" future.
The writing was beautiful, but perhaps a bit too flowery for me. I also felt that following the imagined futures of five children became too much to follow and it didn't allow me to become invested in the individual characters.
I can understand why this has received so much praise, but it just wasn't for me.
