An important perspective + love and loss

Love and loss. A clash of cultures. History and warfare. Generational turmoil. This is a thoughtful and sometime emotional read that really touched some open wounds in my life right now. The story is strong for 3/4 of the book, then weakens a bit towards the end, but I really enjoyed it.
