“I was forced to acknowledge too late, much too late, that I too had loved, that I was capable of suffering, and that I was human after all.”
this book was devastating in the best way.

I usually find it irritating when writers withhold a lot of context info, but it felt really purposeful here. This story felt fresh and unique despite it sharing similarities with a lot of other texts from the genre. I'll be thinking about the child and her experiences for a long time. I would love to have taught this book or covered it with a reading group.
