This is a wonderful story about friends and family, loss and grieving, and the legacy of war and violence. It's gorgeous and heart-wrenching, yet still manages to be hopeful. Plus it tumbles together stories of adults and teens with gentle threads of mystery and equal weight given to each set of stories. I loved the vivid and evocative writing, particularly the way each character feels like a completely real lived-in person. There's also a great audiobook, but maybe don't listen in the car while driving-I speak from experience because I cried my eyes out, like sobbing crying, while driving home from work very slowly. .
