This story has been recommended countless times by my partner, so I'm glad I did read it. Went through the whole thing in under 24hours, and it's been a while since I've been left so affected by a book. I can understand how this book came to be and see what it says plainly and it brings a painful sadness to me. It's beautiful and despicably true to life.
