reflective
sad
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I picked this book because of the topics of inter-generational family history and war, the same topics in one of my favorite books (100 years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez). Even though it was sometimes hard to follow, it didn't dismotivate me at all from finishing and even loving the book - specially in the part where we learn about what provoked the war between the north and the south, i feel like the whole paint is for the story to feel arbitrary.
Anyways, if you are going into this book for the same reason as me, it's definitely worth the read.
"Winter comes dark and early up here. I am far from the people i love. It's Simpler to love them from far away. And always, the stories remain."
