One of those books you just don't want to finish.
Very beautiful. There's so many allegories that could be applied to it, specially considering the author had to flee from a genocide.
Despite the bleak setup, the power of community, curiosity, resilience and compassion in the face of the cruelest, most incomprehensible of scenarios (and the perceived lack or distance to humanity the protagonist sees in herself) shine through.
