The story unfolds very slowly - it's almost torturous at points how slow it seems. But the end makes it all worth it. Hugely emotional, lots of tears. I would say this is a book for older middle grade readers as the younger ones will lack some life experience to really understand and appreciate the message of the book. We loved it.
