I haven't cried this much because of a book in a long time. Daughters of the Deer is tough to get through (I recommend looking up content warnings before picking it up), but so so worth it. Jeanne's story in particular really resonated with me, and I found myself relating to many of her experiences and struggles despite the differences in time and culture. I can't recommend this novel enough.
