I was so mesmerised by the storytelling of this book! I loved the "untrustworthy" narrative of this book and that the main characters backstory is told sporadically throughout the book. The ending had me in tears. I love how this book potrayed the trauma and adjustments that the main character us forced to make after the war. A fantastic book that had me hooked throughout the entire book.
