I almost didn't select this book, thinking that it was a 'young' person's book. Thank heavens I went ahead and rented it. I am a senior and found this story to be utterly amazing. The three alternating histories are poignant and compelling - some of which are based on historical fact. In our troubled world, the will to overcome tremendous adversity by these protagonists and their families can shame those of us who prefer to ignore their suffering - seeking to find a secure and meaningful life. Tragically, wars and persecutions among cultures based on ignorance and a lack of understanding, continue relentlessly to haunt the human race. A MUST-READ.
