I liked this book. It drew me in so that I lost track of time and kept looking for the opportunity to pick it up again to see what happened next. The details in Minka's account were horrifying to read about but important for us all to remember. The author's switch to different voices and different time periods was at times hard to adjust to but I found that those transitions had me thinking a bit more critically about the themes and connections. The theme of forgiveness was and is one that I find myself mulling over. The author does a good job of introducing the complexities of that.
