pippad 's review for:
The Last Thing to Burn
by Will Dean
I thought I'd read something short for my birthday and this story of a Vietnamese woman being forced to live a life on a farm with her captor after being a victim of human trafficking was my pick.
Boy, do I know how to pick them.
"Jane" lives a life of servitude, keeping her home exactly as her husband wants, cooking what he wants, in the way that he wants and for one week of the month sleeping in the back bedroom.
Only once she had a child and Leonard (bad dude) brings another woman to the farm (and held hostage like Jane but actually way worse) and it appears that Leonard is thinking of the future where his daughter will be old enough for him (yeah, I know) Jane realises that she has to escape.
It's a very tense read but at 200 pages (just short) a very quick one.
