lyssylyssy's review against another edition

At some point, it shifted from being about Dewi Ayu to being about the awful men in her life and how they groomed her daughters.

I wanted to love it so bad but the end could never suffice for all the wrongs and pain I had to go through as a reader (female and non white at that).

maraudergrl90's review against another edition

I would not consider myself a prude by any means but this book seemed to be raunchy and gross for seemingly no reason. Just about every taboo subject was thrown in for seemingly no reason. I just couldn't get into it. I got through 10% and just couldn't keep going.

Unlike anything I’ve ever read - completely disgusting but also moving at times. Very clever how Eka waves in political and social history of Indo 4⭐️
