Usually, I would only rate a book this high if I could see myself reading it again. I can't see myself ever picking this book up again, but I couldn't rate it any lower. There's something darkly touching and hauntingly wise about this story and what it says about the capacities that humanity has to love and hate, to hurt and forgive and to endure.

This book pulled me in and tore me down bit by bit until I was an aching, sobbing, angry mess at the end. The images painted on these pages will haunt me for a long time. I can't, in good conscience, recommend this to anyone who wants to have a peaceful night's rest.
