I enjoyed this book immensely, it was well written and hard in parts, deeply melancholy following the struggle of all the characters, the deaths, the abuse, the war, losing your home, not being accepted as a citezen in the country you were born in and so much more.
I liked that the story was threaded together so beautifully and how one decision can have so many knock on after effects. Bringing whole generations shame or sadness for their ancestors past mistakes.
Something really special about this book.

I loved the fact you follow generations of the same family. The trauma they all suffer broke my heart.
It's a hell of a book. It made me smile and made me cry.
There isn't more I can say about it without spoiling more. It's worth the read.
