I liked the prose of this book and enjoyed running through the course of each character's life. However, I wish more was done with the concept set up in the beginning (children die in the bombing, but what would their lives be like if they lived)? 

I don't know how it couldve been done differently, but I'm a little disappointed because the beginning of the book gripped me completely, but then the rest of the book just proceeded as the stories of the lives of various characters (irrespective of the set up in the beginning). 

I liked it, but it's missing something for me.
