the heart wrenching romance aside, the portrayal of both sides of the conflict was one of the most balanced that I have read in a fictional romance novel. It wasn't something I was looking for when I picked up this novel and I felt only sadness at the resolution of the book, as in it I felt the echo's of the conflicts of today.
