I was similarly hesitant about this one, due to the premise, but it sounds so beautiful and poignant that I know I have to pick up a copy.

I've read a few good reviews, but yours really touches deeper on the subjects behind WHILE HE WAS AWAY and tells me that this book is heart-wrenching and that I NEED to read it.
