This would be a great book for a book group. The culture described is so diffferent that it was hard to wrap my head around a lot of things. Is there such a thin g as being gay in a society that punishes any sexual activity and limits access to women? Is there such a thing as an abusive relationship when the abuse is how the culture dictates women should be treated?
