A review by tallulahk
The War Outside by Monica Hesse

3.0

The characters in The War Outside-Margot, who loses pieces of her family and life in Iowa day by day, and Haruko, who worries about the lies inside her family and within Crystal City-really make this book unforgettably. Some of the plot’s major developments came at the end of the book, which really changed the way that I viewed the characters' interactions.
