Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed

4.0

This book was simultaneously awful and amazing. Melamed's writing is nuanced - it's descriptive, it evokes such imagery from a few sparse words, and she captures the eerie atmosphere completely. At the same time, the subject matter is awful - and how the girls deal with it, as if it's normal, is abhorrent. Overall, it was a fascinating read.
