All the Glimmering Stars

Every once in a great while I read a book so profound that I just can’t come up with a review for it. Nothing I attempt to put into words will come close to expounding on how truly moving, important, gripping and emotionally engaging this story was. In other words, this book has left me completely and utterly speechless.

But I’m still gonna try…

All the Glimmering Stars is a story with history, action, drama, hope and triumph. It is a MUST read historical fiction story that shines a light on an important and horrific part of Ugandan history and life for those living there. I felt so connected to each character he introduced throughout the storyline, and found myself completely wrapped up in the lives and emotions of the two main characters, while being transported into their world.

As always, Sullivan does immaculate research when compiling an unforgettable story. I stayed up very late many nights simply because I couldn't go to sleep not knowing what would happen next.

I was truly amazed at the how well Sullivan wrote shocking moments throughout the story that Anthony and Florence were forced to endure, but there were also so many uplifting moments to cherish as their love grew, continued to never give up their hopes of freedom, and their spirits radiated till the very last page.

Overall, this is an outstanding and masterful book. Mark Sullivan has told another important, eye opening, and never-to-be forgotten story. And, you too will find yourself utterly speechless and have tears streaming down your face at the end.

All the stars!!
