challenging emotional slow-paced

I enjoy fiction based from historical events, and I feel the author did a good job of honoring the real context of this story and bringing this perhaps little known history to light. Though there was love and family/found family in this story that was lovely to read, I would not call this is a light read - it does deal with some heavy subjects
