This book was excellent. Such a beautiful and compelling way to tell a difficult story. The major points that held it back from being a 5 star book for me were:
1. The ending wrapped up so fast! It felt so unsatisfying especially since the middle moved so slowly. 
2. It was a little challenging trying to keep up with the “cast of characters”. Some of the storylines jumped around and it was a bit confusing to keep track who was family, friend or foe.
