Et interessant blikk på et samfunn som eksisterer ved siden av samfunnet, et innsyn i vennskap og verdien av venner og familie.

Kanskje er det mer ekte venner enn de fleste har? Kanskje har og gir de mer omsorg/kjærlighet enn de fleste er villig til å gi og få? Men samtidig er det ingen omsorg/kjærlighet til de utenfor utenforskapet, så finnes den egentlig da?

Det er ikke et litterært verk, men det er mer inspirerende enn noe annet jeg har lest. For en dame - for et driv!
