I loved this book. It's the most powerful book I've read since "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan". I liked the way the author described what Sarah and Little Bee saw, and was effective in giving each character an effective narrative. I was pulled in from the very beginning, and intrigued by where the story might go. For me, the fact that I had not seen any spoilers about the subject matter was definitely a contributing factor to my enjoyment of this book. Not a happy or joyful book, but effective, powerful and well-written. Best I've read this year so far!
