I don’t think this book was for me. I was annoyed by Magda for the whole book. Her internal dialogue was a bit much for me, and she didn’t seem to treat anyone she cared about with kindness. I don’t ask much from my protagonists, but I need to believe they care about their people. I liked seeing Sara’s letter in the book, but I would have preferred there to be more indicators for what paragraphs were taking place in the past vs present. It was also SO sad!
