Graphic: Rape, Sexual violence, and Suicide
This is a wonderful book that must be approached cautiously as it does contain Rape, sexual violence against women, and a suicide scene. This book is very emotionally taxing but is so important to understanding what happens under an oppressive dictatorship.jessicaelisa's review against another edition

There are a lot of potentially triggering topics in this book, but it never felt like "torture porn" to me. It wasn't there to shock, it was there because these are real experiences people have.imreallyraven's review against another edition
