A powerful book that explores how art is perceived and the cost of war. It took me until 30% before I was hooked, I didn't really feel invested in the characters until the book started to explore its main themes. The cast of characters was unique with so many interesting voices. The audiobook cast did a fantastic job and gave so much depth to the characters. This book left me thinking about how so many people grasp at life vs. how many people ACTUALLY live a life they want.  An intriguing read.

Slow to start, great intermingling of plot points from the flashbacks to present time. Twists near the end are within reason and surprising.
