Moral decay and rampant corruption are explored through a child's voice in a village consumed by darkness and death.
Interesting conception and characters but lagging prose.
It's really hard to figure out whether the translation pulled it down or the original text.
In order to create a muddled-up dreamlike narration, the writer employs refrain a little too much than necessary.

The inclusion of data from various studies in the story leaves little to no room for debate about the glaring emergency of gender inequality.

The book is a painful revelation.
