Kya--what to say about this protagonist, known locally as the Marsh Girl?

5.5/5!!!! What a wonderful book. Packed with emotion I couldn’t put it down. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
One of my favourite books of the year. Broke me, gave me hope, filled me with tears and sunshine and a hope for a better world. Such a beautiful book.
