What a book!
It's not often that I throw out five stars, but this one really did touch me. It outright broke my heart.
The story, though fictional is dignified and honest. Here you won't find self pity and sob stories, but a very human account of fear, sadness, hardship, sentimentality and an element of beauty. There are a few parts that were hard to read, similarly to how some words are hard to hear.
I feel this should be read by more. Just because it's beautiful in its own dark way.
