I’ve heard this is painful and heart wrenching. I’m interested to see your feedback

Yes, that’s probably accurate. I’m re-reading it as I teach through it for homeschool co-op. But I don’t think it’s fair to reduce the book to only the sad part. It’s a classic “coming of age” story with a lot to offer; it’s not just a misery fest by any stretch.
