I’ve sat on this one for a while as it was such a strange read.
On the one hand, it’s so crucial that we have disabled voices in fiction, and this was such an intimate look into one disabled woman’s experience. It made me think about things I never even considered which is exactly why reading is important.
It was however very odd and the writing style was a little confusing at times - perhaps this is due to the translation though. The author spent a lot of time giving us facts and information from different books, which was interesting but felt a little out of place. I’m still completely bewildered about the ending too.
