Heartbreaking!
The narrative was at times confusing with its shifts and turns, in characters and times, throughout the telling of stories that weren’t stories, but memories, some fantastical some more candid. Still, it’s beautiful and lyrical, sad and moving. It’s a book about the love for a country you’ve lost to war before you lost in distance, a story of love that transcends pain and trauma, that unites and saves.
