This was about 100 pages too long. I enjoyed learning about the daily struggles of the time, but I can't say I liked even a single character. Now I am aware that this is not supposed to be a happy ending story that leaves readers satisfied, but I also can't really see the hype around it. There are some good quotes and strong ideas to ponder related to redemption and power relations.
