"What starts like a frothy romance turns into something much more serious and substantial, and the novel has some original and stirring revelations about the human condition, and a moving depiction of redemption and reconciliation emerging out of deep suffering. (...) This is one of the most painful descriptions of war’s cruelties and the suffering human beings can inflict on each other that I’ve ever read."
