A very dark book. 
I don’t know how I feel. I really just wanted it to end. It was exhausting the level of tragedy these children and this family went through. I’m just very shaken by this. It’s a lot. 

But I will also say that it was good. Despite the trauma that was just utterly dizzying.

When I first started this book, I was temped to give it up. But I pushed through, and loved it. This book has great, deep characters, a gripping plot and a beautiful setting. This book started off rough, but it ended with a new-found love of it. Cannot recommend it enough.
