This has to be one of my all time favourite books. I was immediately captivated by the heartfelt undertones that this book carried with it from start to finish. I really liked the way that history was incorporated into such a personal account. The backdrop of this story was set in a time where there were vast historical happenings. The main fact that this book was written from notes just portrays what an ingenious piece of prose that this story is. I would definitely recommend this book most highly.
