"Estão em pé, o destino mudou."
It's not easy to get into the storyline, especially given the vocabulary chosen by the author, but it's a beautiful story.
It is key to remember that the characters are still children, which is not easy at first, but as soon as that portrait gets stuck in your brain, you're in for a painful ride.
Worse than a book that makes you cry is a book that makes you want to cry but your tears just get stuck.
