Read it in Italian. A dystopian story with interesting points of reflection on our concept of society, gender disparity and power (ab)use. I found some common elements with The Handmaid's tale (Margaret Atwood). In general, very recommend.
Moderate: Bullying, Violence, Child abuse, Sexual violence, and Rape
