I am so grateful that I have had neither challenges with infertility, nor child death or severe disability before I read this. 

What a gut punch of a novel. What a beautiful, important, horrible gut punch. Realistic, honest, just, beautiful, horribly sad and incredibly powerful. Beautifully written, amazingly translated.
