The voice was strong and the humor lent a dark topic levity 

Testimoni colpidor de la víctima d'un pederasta. La traducció de na Marta Marfany és bastant bona.

Helsingin sanomat uutisoi tänään (29.12.2022) verkossa, että aikuinen mies sai tuomion vastattuaan 15-vuotiaan tytön toiveeseen neitsyyden menettämisestä. Tämän kirjan pitäisi olla pakollista luettavaa ko. otsikon muotoilleelle toimittajalle (?) ja kaikille muillekin, joiden mielestä teinityttö voi harrastaa suostumuksellista seksiä aikuisen miehen kanssa.

Hieno ja äärimmäisen tarpeellinen kirja kipeästä aiheesta.

This is the story about a girl sacrificed on the altar of literary genius. Springora's memoir tells her twisted coming of age as the teenage mistress of a much older writer, with the tacit approval of a whole society around her. This is a story about hypocrisy and injustice, about the excuses we made, and still make, for predatory behaviour when the perpetrator is a man who's charming enough. It's also the story of a woman reclaiming her own voice, and as such it's powerfully written. I love memoirs with a strong authorial voice, and this really hits the spot. Even given the subject matter, it's so sharply written with some lovely turns of phrase; I couldn't put it down.

Our emotional bond was coming loose, and the jungle in the depraved kingdom was opening up to a different world where, against all the odds, the sun shone and was just waiting for me to show up for the party to begin.
