This was a very powerful and at times complex story, full of obvious evil and wrong, as well as more tricky ethical dilemmas and “grey” situations. I enjoyed reading it, although it was tragically sad. I did feel as though some areas were perhaps a little under developed - would be good to know more about Eva, for example. Overall a solid read and a stark reminder of what people are capable of.
