This is one of the best books I've read all year. Akotara creates a stunningly vivid landscape and cast of characters and i can feel the love and level of care that went into ever detail. Witnessing the changes in the town, and in Rue, as we travel between the pre and post war timelines kept me engaged for every minute. And the way Akotara captured the heart of this community trying to claim freedom in the wake of loss and pain and suffering, I absolutely loved this story and will be thinking about it for a very long time.
