At the moment - I just finished this book less than 2 minutes ago - I find myself in a state of bittersweet awe. Tears have fallen. This story is a sad one, but also a fulfilled and emotionally full one. Much of this story is based on true events and the magnitude of those events cannot be passed by, nor should they ever be. This is a book I think every person should read. I believe it will be a reminder of what should never be forgotten as well as renewal of faith in humanity.

An absolutely beautiful story, while it may be fictional, it creates such an incredible tale of struggles, past and present, the polarity between life and death, the complexity of different points of time, and how it all comes together.
