That ending, yes. Like something out of a rated R because-of-the-violence movie except that this is the sad reality of life across the border. The writing is detailed and beautiful but the subject matter, although so very important, was very hard to digest even for me who can handle a lot. It is easier to manage material like this when I know it be fiction. Knowing this is what life is like for so many unfortunate people makes this a very difficult book to like. It is an important book everyone should read.

Brutal, but vital. I can well understand the acclaim. This is definitely going to stay with me.
