A very good read. The story is so amazingly emotional and beautiful while just being incredibly heart-wrenching. The plot vacillates between the perspectives of Josef and Lenka, giving pieces of their lives over the past 60 years, flanked at beginning and end with a current point in time. More of the book is dedicated to Lenka's story, as would somewhat be expected, but it leaves Josef's story feeling somewhat watery and lacking. Though it was still very good, I could have done with more from his perspective. I also struggled with not being extraordinarily angry about the ending, but ultimately the lack of a satisfying ending (a lack of closure more than a lack of good storytelling) is what caused me to demote this to 4 stars.
