Well done presenting the history of this storyline and portraying the conflicting ideologies minorities face in light of history, present, and future. Hard not to leave this movie without thinking about modern social issues, yet these were not “in your face” throughout the movie - ie not forced. The powerful female characters were breathtaking and refreshing!!!

This novel was amazing. It made me really think about social issues. I loved the emotions that played over the pages, tempting the reader into wanting more. I had to read this for a class, but I am very glad that the professor assigned it. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Great novel.
