Historic
Rating and review from notebook
 

- Place in history is weird and hard to remember
- Very honest exploration of children's sexualities 
- Narration feels genuinely childlike rather than childish
- Unreliable narrator 
- Confusing time jumps
- Sad ambiguous ending with lots of unanswered questions
- Traumatic and disturbed but in a way that felt authentic and relatable
