Wow. What a book. This is one of the most profound books I’ve read in a long time. I would have loved to have read this in school.

It followed a young woman called Julia who’s father very unexpectedly ups and walks out on his family. Julia wants to know why so she follows his trail to Burma where she learns about the first 20 years of her father’s life. It’s about adversity and growing up in poverty and the bonds you forge with those who can relate to your hardships. It a gorgeous love story chocked full of wisdom on life and love and sacrifice.

Cannot recommend enough.
