Skide deprimerende; sådan en bog der får en til at tvivle på enhver tilværelse. Jeg nød ikke at læse den, men jeg kan heller ikke give den mindre på grund af det den gjorde ved mig og det interessante i den. Af en biografi at være er den ret godt skrevet.

Lecture troublante qui m'a beaucoup touchée. Un récit qui fait froid dans le dos.
J'ai bien aimé l'avis de la jeune femme sur le fait qu'on la dise victime du syndrome de Stockholm. C
La traduction était maladroite par moments et j'ai relevé quelques coquilles.

I found this really hard to read. Not just for the content but due to the overexplaining and longing out of every detail. I found I had to skip a fair chunk to get through it.

So much more than just an account of a girl who was kidnapped - a stunningly and unpretentiously dialectical view into abusive relationships and the duality & complexity of even the worst and most monstrous people. A biting criticism of the vulture-like nature of capitalist media and of how the society/economic system we live in produces and reproduces abuse, abusers, and abusive situations.

Wow. Can’t believe someone could survive that. Her story was so well conveyed, there was so much of it was unprepared for. How being a child makes survival easier, how her difficult upbringing she felt prepared her to endure abuse. I appreciated her insight and pushback on “Stockholm Syndrome” and respect so much her refusal to let other people define something she experienced. Also her insistence that good and evil are not separate opposite categories, but shades of gray and choice that exist in degrees within all of us. I feel like that supports a lot of abolitionist/transformative Justice ideas. I cannot believe that I unrelated saw the scene where she escapes on tik tok and then read the book without knowing. Respect how she doesn’t talk about sexual abuse and keeps that private for herself. She seems so smart and competent and strong, I don’t think I could have done what she did. She’s a very awe-inspiring person.
