Depressing and oppressive and made me wonder WHY someone would write such a sad and gut wrenching tale. I think the author wanted readers to consider how we deal love and faith in the most dire of circumstances. How would we protect what we love most -- and would that protection end up causing more harm? Great book for discussion, but certainly not something I'd recommend in general.
