Graphic: Rape, Sexual violence, and Suicide

This is a wonderful book that must be approached cautiously as it does contain Rape, sexual violence against women, and a suicide scene. This book is very emotionally taxing but is so important to understanding what happens under an oppressive dictatorship.
