I thought this was a very important work that needs to be written about but I just did not personally like the execution. I was not engaged and I wasn’t happy with the ending being about the male narrator’s development rather than the journey of the women. I feel there should have been much more focus on their stories rather than the opinions of a man who wasn’t really connected to the horrific abuse these women suffered.
