Devastador, duro, doloroso… No encuentro las palabras correctas para describir lo que vivió esta chica, tuve un nudo en la garganta en todo momento al leer esta novela, me estremezco en solo pensar en las mujeres que habrán tenido que vivir esto y en las muchas que no lograron sobrevivir…

kattrent's review against another edition

5.0

I forgot how much this hurts to read.
It is amazing, and this edition updates some of the text to make it more appealing to younger audiences, but that did not get rid of the heart, soul, and lesson of the novel. I am glad I read this again, but boy does it hurt.
