Heart wrenching and sad to a degree that it begins to feel voyeuristic. Tragedy piles unto tragedy. Not sure this was the author's story to tell. The writing is undeniably beautiful. The plot is as realistic as it is foreseeable. The resolutions to the characters' struggles are pretty clear from the beginning.
