4.0

I found this work to be full of endearing characters, love, the traumas of forced labor camps, and Bulgaria during the time of the Iron Curtain. The work was full of mystery and intrigue and I found it to be compelling, but difficult to read at times due to the torture, violence, and harm within the work.
