I have mixed feelings about this book. It's a beautiful story about neighborliness, and in a way, a great reflection on what is happening in our times. On the other hand, sometimes I felt like maybe it was a bit too real. I feel like it's hard for me to write an accurate review of this book, because I'm wondering if perhaps I shouldn't have read it while I was down and sick. Did I take it too seriously? Was I just not in the mood?
