Excellent book.  It’s an important story and everyone should read it. It’s heavy and harrowing story simply because of the setting, but it’s extremely well done. The only reason I’m not rating it 5 is because it can be dense. I found it hard to follow at times,  it that’s a me thing and I’m sure a lot of people would disagree, and that’s okay.
