Had to read this book for a college class, and thus wasn't expecting much. But my god, what a beautiful, heartbreaking book. Found myself gasping and laughing and sighing out of sadness for these characters, many times throughout the book. Beautiful imagery throughout, will be looking for more books by this author.  Profs teaching English classes: assign this book, your students will be better for it.
