A powerful, exhilarating read. I felt so angry at the way men treated women who weren’t submissive enough, as they were so afraid of the women’s power. However, the female characters all find a way of being, beyond the control of men.
This book was beautifully written and I could absolutely imagine the landscape, freezing weather, dirt and foul smells!
