This book is an amazing translation, it always astonishes me when a translator is able to work the text into something that is as beautifully written as in the original language. This book is a study of love and what it is to truly be loved by the ones around us.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Forced institutionalization, Pedophilia, Sexual violence, and Sexual assault
This book deals with these themes in a way that would be appropriate for young adults. It explains and helps the reader understand the characters traumas in a way that is palpable as well as helpful.
