i hate to say it but this was quite boring. there was one scene where i almost cried, but that was the only part that was better than average. this book has a lot of informative content about hansen's disease in japan, and i loved learning about it but that's just it. the characters are pretty bland too. that said, this was a good read, but not the best.
