I read this in about two days at my sublet. While often darkly depressing, I can see why this book was so popular. I didn’t however love it, but liked it. The characters are a little bit black and white (so good! so bad! so cowardly!) that it often rings a little untrue. But the setting was very interesting and it covers some interesting moral ground. At what point can we let go of childhood mistakes? How can we rectify some of those misdeeds? And what if we try to rectify and that doesn’t work

Heartbreaking, poignant! Was not able to put it down once I started it. Visual descriptions were very strong, characterization was nearly perfect. I love books that open my eyes to the plight of other countries; it brings my own situation into perspective.
Absolutely great. Compelling with rich characters and vivid story telling.
