labricoleuse's review against another edition

dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

This is a fascinating piece of ethnographic history. I’m glad I listened to the audiobook because I get why it is important to write an oral history in the dialect as spoken but I think it would have been difficult to understand. Hearing it was clearer I think.
