Incredible historical fiction. I loved how SMK used the two perspectives and allowed the reader to discover for themselves the validity of their friendship. So much of this novel was hard to read, but it's so important. The character development is superb and the research is impeccable. Kudos to SMK for adding another brilliant novel to the genre.
