I'm a sucker for multigenerational stories and this one was emotional and raw and the author did a wonderful job at giving each character their own voice. It almost felt like a personal look at how horrific and ugly war is and how it tears people apart and how it affects those, even many years down the road. I loved watching the family grow and evolve and learn their customs and traditions. All they want is to go home and that remains very clear throughout. Definitely one of the best books I've read this year so far.
