A tough, but important read.
Intense and disturbing, but most of all full of truth.
It's not a book I would recommend to everyone, and it's not one I particularly enjoyed (although the writing was beautiful), but it's a story that made me think and consider how different decisions can be when life has been lived in a context that is so far flung from my own.
Thought provoking and moving and important.
Please make note of the trigger warnings before reading.
