Rivers Solomon told this story with clear recognition of the gravity of the subject matter while also demonstrating such thoughtfulness and sensitivity in depicting it. This book is well-crafted, brilliant, and achingly honest without being cruel or delighting in the horrors it contains… despite all odds, it is an unflinching portrayal of resistance, resilience, and hope.
