I learned so much from this book, and it made me want to go back to reread The Bone Woman by Clea Koff. I only knew the very vaguest details about the history this book recounts, so I'm also hoping to read some of the books mentioned in the text for more context and info. This is a moving mixture of memoir and history and testimony and witness to atrocities that feels particularly timely, though I suppose it is unfortunately timely at any given moment. It's not a light read, but it is a really well written one.
