[Karen Simpson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was incredibly difficult to read (I had tried to start it a few times and it only got another try because it was nice and small to take travelling). It is a tragedy. One asks the questions of why the people were where they were and with who they were. Sadly it is also of letting go hope and dreams I think.
