This is always my top recommendation when anyone asks me what my favorite book is. Gripping. Gut-wrenching. Tragic. Incredible story of friendship, love, and heartbreak during war time.
It's got a bit of a twist because the society you read about is matriarchal and the way women make a living is unique and quite fascinating. This book had me feeling all of the emotions. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!
