i wanted to like this book, but i found i just wasn't as dark and gritty as i needed. there's no dispute that what the men did was wrong or that the women have the right to react harshly, or debate over the theological dominion of men over women. what i was really looking for was a book that really challenged the central ideas of patriarchal religions, but this just didn't cut it.
