So many beautiful parts to this narrative, and things that will stick with me.
There were many parts that were difficult to read because of the subject matter, but overall the book was hard to put down. The size is definitely intimidating, but for sure worth the read.
My only complaint is that the time jumps were confusing at times and I had a hard time remembering who was who when it switched back and forth.
