Thought I’d come back because this book was so amazing it deserves6 stars. Just such a good story AND so am written. Not a disappointing moment in the whole thing! Just very very long :)

The first 250 pages are an unrelenting series of scenes in which every single one of the female protagonists are sexually exploited by men, often violently. To what extent was that necessary, I’m not sure, but it was hard to read and a slog for me. The latter 2/3 of the book our main characters get to do things other than suffer, and the book picked up imo. Interesting commentary on genuine human connection, death, and the forces that shape what things we understand ourselves as capable of
