At times this book was hard to read, so brutal is the subject matter of a young girl abducted, raped and later cast out by her family. The story centres on the journey, from the point of abduction to a final resolution. There were moments where the narrative thread felt clumsy, where the fragments of other narratives became intrusive, where there was a sense of things being glossed over. It felt as if the author had struggled to finish the book, to control the narrative, to deliver the story as a coherent entity. I’d expected so much of this book and I guess that may have contributed to my disappointment.
