This book is so horrible in its content in every way. But the way it's done is so fantastic. The writing injects hope into the narrative in a way that makes you not want to get your hopes up, because everytime it feels like something is going to be okay, it's not. This is about to girls in a small village in India and the way they are treated there, and even when apart, the hope they find in their relationship to keep stoking the fire within them to keep going, to find a way out. It is wonderful and yet so awful.
