martinaib's review against another edition

challenging emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

Raw and hard to swallow depiction of a broken childhood. The events put in historical context, and the author's questioning on life and believes, make the narrative even more valuable.
Trigger warning: This memoir does not shy away from describing domestic violence and unappeasable sexual desire as they are.
