I think this is such an important book to read and I enjoyed the plot so much about how they were all just subservient and what had led to this. However, I found the writing style of this book so draining and I struggled to understand what was happening and whether it was a flashback or not and also what period of time the flashback was in. I think this is an important book to read given times now but it’s hard to actually figure out what is going on.
