This book was not at all what I expected. The only prior knowledge I had of it was previews from the movie, which made it look like a love story. While it is that, that is a very small part of it. The young man's journey home from a devastating war, brings him in contact with the people of the mountains who are fighting their own war of grief and poverty. The woman who waits for him, and her friend, use their resoursefulness to help others. This is a beautiful story of people living in a devastating time.
