Loved this! I love how it all connected together and how each of the characters, despite coming  from different backgrounds, endured similar painful experiences and emotions during their lives without even realising it.

Ese libro intentó cubrir demasiado. Aprecié que Samuel y Anita experimentan cosas similares en situaciones y épocas diferentes, pero no sentí el impacto. La mayoría del libro no incluye conversaciones ni los pensamientos de los personajes, solo párrafos largos de información. Siento que nunca llegué a conocer a los personajes más allá de la superficie, y por eso no logré conectar a nivel emocional.
