This is a tough read. But a very important one. And the writing reflects the survival mode of the main character perfectly.

A very important and gripping story, written in a way that seemed as silent as the victims of those horrendous crimes, while still roping you in and not letting you go.
It brought to light a topic that the rest of Europe often doesn't even bother mentionning, and in the end it had me in tears over all of the people that suffered in silence, that we don't even know the name of, both in the book and in reality.
