I didn't know it was possible to cry from beginning to end while reading a book but this book succeeded in that task. Still, even with the crying, it's a beautiful, heart-felt book and there are moments in the book the chapter where Satoru and Nana take their trip to Sapporo together and travel slowly through Hokkaido is so beautiful that I felt as though as I waws there that show such beauty that I felt was there. I recommend reading this with a cat (or even a dog) curled up on your lap to help you get through it.

I love historical fiction that sends me off to find more books (non-fiction) to read about events or the real people in the novel. I've been on a hunt to find even more to read about the lives of Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary McLeod Bethune. I especially enjoyed seeing their friendship through all its ups and downs.
