I think I would have enjoyed this more if I read it rather than listened to it. I also think I was expecting more about the actual war than the back and forth between the time in America and the time the two sisters were refugees. With that being said, it did show a different viewpoint how not only was the war horrific, being taken in by a first world family doesn't necessarily fix everything. And it also showed the family dynamics of what war and the aftermath does to relationships- strengthen and weaken them. Oh, and the time on Oprah was pretty cool, too.
