Great immersive writing, complicated characters. I love a book that follows its main cast for decades, showing their progress and difficulties starting with young adulthood. The development of one of the main characters was a bit frustrating and the women aren’t written with as much care as I’d like, but it was a gripping, heartfelt story.
Graphic: War, Suicidal thoughts, Murder, and Homophobia
Moderate: Rape
