An interesting dive into the archetype of unlikeable female characters and how those archetypes change over the years. I enjoyed this story though felt it only scratched the surface.

A challenging but inspiring story, with complex characters and rich in imagery. I found this to be an important story about women, being a refugee and fighting for one country and dignity.
