Loved this book. Characters are alive and fully fleshed out. I enjoyed being part of their lives. Felt their angst and joys. This is a rich story of a time when innocence ended for the world as a whole. This is a writer I want to follow. I'm looking forward to seeing the other parts of the world or times she will bring to life for me.
