On a more serious note, this book brings out the systemic flaws in the way we treat women, not only those who may have a standing in society, but especially those who are constantly marginalised. In a literal way, Janina lives on the fringes of society and is very well deemed to the local crazy old hag. She has acclimatised herself to her surroundings, fully living the woodland life. She studies cosmography (how she likes to say astrology), has prophetic and supernatural dreams, and is a protector of animals. I like her, sometimes. But the point is not to have me like her, its to realise that even though we may not understand her, she deserves to have her voice heard loud and clear. This book is a brilliant nod to the olden “knowledgeable” women who were persecuted, marginalised, and burnt at the stake as witches. It deals with authoritarian callousness, animal rights, oddball neighbours (the anthropological need to have a little community of people), and unheard, ignored women’s voices. I am probably too dumb to understand this book on a deeper level but i love it for what i have understood.
