Very good book. The (based-on-a-true) story is worth five stars, but somehow the writing cruised between dry and sappy. 2024 was unintentionally the year of historical fiction for me (Faceless Old Woman, Babel, The Satanic Verses, The Sea and Poison, One Hundred Years of Solitude, All the Light We Cannot See), so I think my tastes are changing because I'd never though of myself as a fan of these generational tales.
