Finally a decent book from the library! Sometimes it seems only the Young Adult genre is writing interesting books that deal with ordinary people ethical issues - I mean, most of us don't have that many murderers around, or find only we can save the world/country/family.
This book doesn't gloss over the pain caused by death and bad parenting and bullying and hate, but it doesn't make it look like you can't go on from there either. The first half of this book seemed well done but not unusual, but the second half was excellent. This book contains a sensible conversation about reasons for not fighting; and a very old person who actually seems like a real person grown old and not your generic always-been-old stock character. I recommend this book.
