So beautiful and so sad. I thought that I was done with WWII historical fiction yet I had never read a book set in this part of the world. I learned so much! I look forward to reading more by Vanessa Chan.
The title of the book is so meaningful in multiple ways throughout the story’s development. Again: so beautiful and so sad.
Props to Samantha Tan for an exquisite reading of this book in the audiobook version. Beautiful.
