I didn't give it a 5 because most of the book was good, not great, but still good. That ending though moved me to tears and that is worth a high rating to me.

As an odd coincidence, the same day I started reading this book, a journalist I was working with told me about his family heritage. One side of his family came to the U.S. to escape the pogroms in the early 1900s. It was the first time I’d heard of the pogroms in Russia, and then this book centers them.
