I wish this book had a trigger warning for readers. It is historical and beautifully written but it is does not mince words about the experiences and effects of sexual assault.
Overall, wonderful. I loved the feminist lens and disability neutrality (as opposed to inspiration porn or tragedy).
SPOILER <the Justice was a little too poetic, if you know what I mean.>
