I want to say I enjoyed this book, but I don't think enjoyed is exactly the right word. It was intense and emotional, and yet not quite as intense and emotional as I thought it might be. It was excellent and very well written, although there could've been more signposting re: dates of some parts of the narrative. Even so, this will stay with me for some time.
