When people are dealt a rough hand in life they may respond by visiting evil upon others or they may become compassionate because they understand the pain of hardship. This book explores evil, hardship, loyalty, and profoundly makes the case that physical poverty need not predict poverty of the soul. I found this book engrossing. I felt a kinship with many of the characters knowing what it is like to suffer loss and be alone. Despite living through horrors there were many characters in this book who remained kind and moral with a strong sense of justice. I enjoyed this study of the will to survive against the odds and to reach out to comfort those in distress.

An imaginative novel by a Canadian-American writer reminiscent of William Faulkner.
