Very, very good. Heartbreaking, raw, emotional. Dynamics of wealth and poverty, the maltreatment and disadvantage of those from certain backgrounds. Every character felt, to some degree, alive. There is no forced happiness, just real emotion and tragedy. Mysterious and page turning, very well written. Totally puts you into each scene, into each mind. Contemplative and bordering fantastical, without ever passing the line into unreal.
