This book challenged my thinking and therefore gave me a lot of ‘Ponder The Implications’ moments. Ultimately it is a story that deeply delves into the lives of people, trauma and it’s impacts, forgiveness, and how trauma can look different when viewed from the safe distance of adulthood. It was enlightening to see how perpetrators lose their menace over time as we grow to understand better, and how those we once thought of as victims can change, too. 

It will be difficult to move on to another book after being so absorbed in these characters lives.
