This book opened my eyes to another place I haven't even heard about. Even though the book is fiction, I now want to read non-fiction books of the time and learn just what exactly happened then. If you read this book, keep in mind it is fiction, even though it's based on a true telling.
I loved the dynamic between the main characters. They all felt so real and what they had to go through was probably even worse than what was told in the book. It must've taken so much bravery and strength to keep on to that small piece of hope of getting away.
The journey these people went through and the sufferings were immense. I can't even imagine the real depth on how they affected them. All of the characters felt real and their pain and joy I felt. I very much loved the community that got built so fast, even in these horrible situations the characters found themselves in. They looked after each other and went to great lengths to survive.
I had to take a lot of breaks during this book, as it was very heavy and I didn't have the mental capacity to take on too much at a time. But when I did it was worth it.
This book very much focuses on he characters and not on the evils of the time. I highly recommend on doing more research on the subject or read non-fiction books of the time as I'm about to do. The selflessness the characters have is wild and probably the reason they were able to keep on going. We all need a shoulder to lean on now and then.
I got an eARC in exhange for an honest review.
