The premise of the book is very important and the execution was marvelous but I think the story has been cut short for the length and even though the writing style is very simple and relevant, I was hoping for more versatility here. The ending has suited this book well in, adapting an open-to-interpretation ending gave the book the last touch of realism it needed. Not to mention I got to know about an obscure historical practice that involved the death of more than ten thousand innocent people. Kudos to Claire Keegan for mentioning this topic in the author's note.
