A very moving and emotional novel but it creeps up on you and builds as it goes. I ended up caring about the characters but yet a huge amount of time wasn't spent telling you everything about them. You learned about the character of the characters by what they lived through and how they responded. Isn't that how you learn about people in your life? No one writes a novel and gives it to you to tell you how people's minds work. You see what a person is like by their actions. I really enjoyed this book.
