lgl88 's review for:

Three Sisters by Bi Feiyu

1.0

---

I read about half of this book before dropping it for good. it’s set during the cultural revolution in china, and the summary led me to believe that it was a feminist book about the solidarity between all of these sisters. it was misogynistic, pro-rape, and depicted all of the women as competitors who hated one another. I don’t think a single woman in this book had a real relationship with another woman that wasn’t dependent on competition and loathing. the narrator and the characters talk about how beneficial the gang rape of one of the sisters is in making her more obedient and less narcissistic. the father is described as having affairs with many women, but a lot of the ‘affairs’ read more like rape... he is a rapist. so gross.
