I wanted to like this more than I did. The historical detail is incredibly impressive and I thoroughly enjoyed the author's note, but I struggled to invest in the characters and found the ending a bit of a disappointment. I'm bummed I didn't dig it more because the ingredients—coming-of-age, untold histories, first love, etc., etc.—are all there!
