The story of five queer women living in a dictatorship and beyond teaches history and what it means living under oppression, what (silence) resistance can look like and how to build yourself a life, in a country that is against your existence. It tells about love, friendship, and creating your own family.
I am in awe. And I want more.

Minor: Animal death and Transphobia
there are mentions of sea lions being hunted and killed, but this happens 'offscreen' and is not graphically described. one of the main characters is a butcher, and their work is described, but no animals are killed on the page. there are a couple of brief mentions of 'crossdressers', who are described as men who like to dress as women; they are described without any malice, but are gendered only with he/him, which may sound transphobic depending on one's own cultural context. there are two mentions of sexual encounters involving underage people, which the now-grown people still describe as consensual. this is, however, not glamorised or fetishised. there is a flashback scene involving forced institutionalisation and torture. there are multiple flashbacks involving rape, including underaged rape and marital rape, though these are not graphic.ryanlee's review against another edition
