I haven't sobbed like at sobbed at this book for years. Hannah is the master of writing about perseverance through struggle and she does it in a way where you can't help but be moved. The plot moves at a rapid pace through a whole range of events but it never feels overblown, you are just swept up in the epic struggle of the central characters. I absolutely loved it!
