5.0
By far one of my all time favorite reads ever. I can relate to the characters as my historical/cultural background is that of the opressed. I bawled at the end and have never taken this book for granted.. it has much to teach and much to share. I would read it again and again and hope my future children will appreciate this book as I have. This book is otherworldly and touches deeply, the words and pages not afraid to be challenging to take in.
Graphic: Death, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Genocide, Violence, Grief, Death of parent, War, and Deportation
A unique read as it is narrated by the personification of "Death"
