I wish we could have seen a glimpse into the life of the last child in the book. To know if her fate could be better. But it still feels complete.

There are two pregnancies in this book, both the result of rape. The descriptions of assault & abortions are graphic as well.
Look, I’m the first person to say that I don’t mind feminist books that paint men to be evil. But there are other stories to tell besides the torture, abuse, and assault of women.
This was not a story of witches and nature as much as it was a story about the generational and societal cycles of abuse. I was uncomfortable throughout this entire book, so while it was well-written, I can’t recommend it.

This book touches on many mature and dark topics in a way that is respectful and not overly graphic, but necessarily detailed in order to convey their importance.etl's review against another edition
