dark sad tense slow-paced

1.5

Ich fand die Geschichte einfach nur obszön und hatte zu viele beschriebene Sexszene. 
Die Beschreibungen hinterlassen einen faden Nachgeschmack und ein sehr schlechtes Gefühl.

Good book, but not about desire as is claimed. How could it be, if a third of it is about literal child abuse? Ro call it that is disgusting and pretty hypocritical. Also didn't enjoy the prologue's notion that men can't control themselves sexually and have to give in to desire no matter what.

Easily jumped into my top ten favorite books of all time. Maybe top 5. Incredible writing. Artful narrative techniques that are subtle and exquisite, and most importantly that allow the truth of each woman to pour through and stand on its own without distraction. Just stunning I cannot recommend this book enough and can’t wait to read more from Lisa Taddeo.
