I think this is a beautiful and honest story. I have read some reviews that think the story is sad and repiticious but that's life, and that's trauma. I haven't read Giliad but I really enjoyed this story. A story of coping and reconciliation with trauma as the main character Lila's worldview widens. Beautifully written and worth pushing through to the end like a friend telling you their life's story.
