A tale of a girl, who follows a path similar to many before her. A tragic love story based on a play- or at least surrounding a play and the ideas it plants likes seeds in the minds of the impressionable and romantic girls in the story. It does follow just one girl’s life, but mentions others. A lot of cultural elements are explained, and the writing was captivating despite having such heavy topics.
