The narrative voice is so authentic and unique that it's easy to connect to the character and the place.  The misuse of English vocabulary leads to creative, evocative new combinations and creates new context for words which are consistently surprising.

This was a hard read for me because child marriages are pedophilia and this is something that I feel passionate about.  Female children being forced into sexual slavery is something that people are not upset about enough.

How language and education does not determine her value or represent her drive is a powerful message that resonates throughout her many hardships.
