5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully captivating and engaging story!

First of all I want to thank the author for writing such a wonderful story that could be told in one book. I was looking for a good read that didn't require the commitment to a series. This book drew me in emotionally from the very beginning. I was sobbing uncontrollably at the end. I had to turn my bedroom light off quickly so that my husband couldn't see my tears. I plan to read it again tomorrow, hopefully with no tears since I know how the story goes. Although we are still early in 2017 , this is definitely the one to beat for number one status in my library. I can't wait to share this with my friends!

A truly touching story full of marvelous imagery and a diverse vocabulary. I enjoyed the historical references/interpretations sprinkled through out the narrative as the story progressed. The characters were well developed for such a short story and were able to evoke emotion. I will admit, my eyes were just starting to tear up by the end. If you are looking for a quick but interesting read full of passion, intrigue, and the moral ambiguity of the human spirit this is the story for you. I would definitely read more works by this author.

Enjoyed this short story - quick read but engaging, thought-provoking, and set in an interesting and unfamiliar world the protagonist brings to light through fresh eyes. The idea of resonating with humanity's suffering, and the concept that easing even one individual's pain is a worthwhile endeavor, are applicable in our increasingly polarized society. Looking forward to more from this author.

A beautiful story with tons of heart and a deep insight into the pains and joys of human relationships. I especially enjoyed the child character, and the realism and expression of her dialogue.

It’s a story about what it means when you want to help so many people but you know you can’t help them all – that kind of feeling of helplessness is talked about a lot in this story. I loved how Colette was willing to do anything to make that pain of her friend go away. In the end, it’s making that decision of – should I let them have peace or do I (selfishly) want them to stay alive so they can continue to be in my life?

The Dynamics in this story were very interesting and made me kind of think about how brutal the war must have been and how many suffered not only from the war but also because all of these countries were so divided.

If you like short stories, I would recommend you check it out!
