RaveUSA Today\"Due’s book is a horror story, but not of the dead. It’s about the evils of man, control or lack thereof, despair and atrocities that are not just anecdotes, but ripped-from-the-pages-of-history real ... The novel doesn\'t flinch from the terrors of the time, forcing you to see fully the injustices so many have faced then and even now. But it’s not a hopeless tale ... a gripping story of survival, of family, of learning how to be brave in the most dangerous of circumstances. And it will haunt you in the best way long after you turn the last page.\
