What a beautiful, tense, emotional story. This book made me feel so many things - anger, love, sadness...strength. At first I wasn't sure about the flashbacks, but quickly came to appreciate how poetic the story was written. That birth scene was incredibly powerful! Such a poingant way to blend a story of conservation, family ties, murder, and love.
