It’s not an easy read. This book touches on big, systemic problems. The author finds amazing ways to discuss the ever present discomfort and tension, while keeping it very intimate.
Definitely check this book out!

Even as plot lines and moments fade in and out within the space of a few pages, I remained grounded in the motions - I felt tension, fear, frustration and even peace at points. I was also confused a lot, don't get me wrong.
While part of me would have liked more than the snapshot we received of this story, I was more impressed at the economy and the confidence in its delivery than I was disappointed in its length.
