5.0
challenging dark emotional sad
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes

Incredibly tragic and moving, with very compelling characters, and beautifully written. Full of powerful images which will stick with me. The themes of religion, morality, agriculture and class are so interesting that I would like to study this properly.
