This is one of the best books I have read in a while. I was so immersed in the world of the girls at the Medula. This is not your average coming of age story. It is a beautifully written within a snapshot of one year in a young girl’s life. A year where she is forced to grow up very quickly, for many reasons. I enjoyed being in this characters thoughts and saw so much of myself in her, even as she lived in a very different place and time.
