| I thought that “The Story of the Lost Child” was desperately sad and not how I was expecting the Neapolitan novels to end. It was arguably too much. |

Brutal is such a good adjective for it. Brutal, but simultaneously one of the best books I've ever read. It was a book that definitely stayed with me for a while. I felt my body having physical reactions to it the same way I might feel about actual events happening in my own life. |

| I still tear up thinking about Island of the Blue Dolphins, and I haven't read it since I was 11 years old. |
