It’s the hard story behind the this-then-that way it’s written that gets 4-stars. Writing style is a middle road 3 for me.
Character development is not great, and rather than dig deep, these characters get flung across the pages, and we have to believe their emotions by the brief paragraphs of emotional ‘persuasiveness’ between reams of pages and sweeping over months of events and details.
The subject: A worthwhile remembrance despite the abominations committed (the politics are tricky here).
