Bought this a bit on a whim while stranded in a train station; devoured in a few sittings. I loved the way she weaves fiction and history together, the characters are beautifully drawn and the reflection on the traumas of war is thoughtful, incisive, sad, hopeful, humanist... a challenging read but wonderful.
