I added this book to my to-read list when I considered it for the week "set in a different country", but I forgot that it was based on a true story! I definitely need to choose books from my TBR for this challenge and stop adding new ones, so I think I'm going to read this too!

I've decided to read this for my based on a true story book. I'm a jumper so not sure when I will get to it though.
I'm almost done and for now I like this book! Strangely, I find it difficult to express what I think about it... Maybe it'll come easier when I finish it.
I finished it yesterday and gave it 4 stars. I found the story and the writing compelling, but was a bit frustrated by the ending. The ebook I bought on amazon had an interview by the author which I found very interesting.
I was struggling to find a book to read for this week. Burial Rites appealed so I have just started this today.
I finished this today and rated it 5 stars. I hadn't thought I would enjoy it as much as I did and I agree with Sophie that the ending was a bit frustrating. In saying that this book is based on a true story so the ending was already predetermined.
