Incredibly heart-breaking. The intense feeling of guilt the narrator felt was conveyed really well, as well as the feelings of inadequacy and "undeserving" of her survival. The family's ability to adapt to such an abrupt change was very admirable in the beginning. It was sad to see the decline of that ability, as well as the decline of resilience as things went on. This book showed that it takes a lot to break the human spirit, but hope can still remain, so long as you have something to hold on to.
