Beautiful story of forgiveness, coming of age in the 1930s for a poor orphan and in fact a country that was in turmoil. The giraffes are the hope and serenity, pure souls that can save a life that is shattered. Wonderful story and I was completely invested throughout.
Graphic: Animal death, Death of parent, and Animal cruelty
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Vomit and Gun violence
