To me, this book was a story of an older sister trying to make sense of the murder of her younger sister. Not necessarily to solve it, but to reclaim her sister's life, her sister's experiences in the last few years of her life. She brilliantly orchestrates the story of her sister's life through her sister's own documents: scribbled notes on metro cards, letters both sent and unsent, asides in lecture notes. As a reader, I felt the excruciating ache of a family grieving, pleading, and begging for answers, the anger at the injustice, and a desire to prevent more violence like Liliana experienced. A breathtaking and heart wrenching memoir from those left in the wake of femicide.
