hachiwares 's review for:
Tender Is the Flesh
by Agustina Bazterrica
dark
fast-paced
“The mask of apparent calm, of mundane tranquillity, of the joy, at once small and bright, of not knowing when this thing I call skin will be ripped off, when this thing I call mouth will lose the flesh that surrounds it, when these things I call eyes will come upon the black silence of a knife.”
Unflinchingly disturbing. If you have any sensitivity to gore, sexual assault and all around terrible people then I'd give this one a miss. That being said, this book got under my skin in a way I've not really felt before. I connected with the writing near immediately and it didn't lose me at all.
4.5 stars instead of 5 because I feel that the ending was pretty abrupt and underdeveloped in my opinion.
