It's very short and easy to read, so even though it wasn't fabulous, I would still warmly recommend it because it won't take much of your time!

It's a really difficult book to read, as you'd expect - but it's still well worth the read. It's hard to believe things like that actually happened it's just harrowing.

[Dhanaraj]

Thanks Katie for the info. I might read it little later then (after the Christmas).

How is her writing? I had always wanted to read her books and Yōko Ogawa's books.
