such a fascinating read!

and actually quiet a fitting one at the times of corona lock downs and not being able to leave and so many people complaining about how bad they are having it while sitting at home having everything they could possibly need - and then reading this book where people are actually on a horrendous lockdown unable to leave not at all having what they need to survive but fighting and hoping and doing their best for months.

i think the author did a great job in giving a real person and real people fictional voices and building a fictional story around real events.
she made the story feel real, by injecting the fictional moments, feelings and thoughts that made this book so very readable and an utterly emotional read -for me at least!

the moments where people died or animals where killed, hard decisions had to be made and everything seemed hopeless... it all seemed very real to me on this book and that i think shows how well the author did her work.

i think this is worth a read if you have any interested in it.

but be warned it’s not a book that shy’s away from traumatic realities of such situations!
people do horrible things to survive and hunger is a terrible companion that makes people do things they would normally never even think about.
