I found this book both hard to like but also lovely at the same time! It is a hard story because of some of the things that happen are sad and abhorrent. It deals with subject matter such as rape, racism, scarification and having your babies taken from you.
The thing I liked about this book was that even though the sister's letters were never responded to, they kept writing. They had hope they would see each other once again and writing to one another even if they would never read it would help them keep their strong sisterly bond. This part of the story was beautiful.
