Ik vond het tof dat het drie verhalen waren over vrouwen en dat uiteindelijk bleek dat die verhalen met elkaar verbonden waren. Verder vond ik het wel nogal vaag zo nu en dan. Vooral in het begin moest je heel goed opletten wie nou wie was. En er zaten ook korte hoofdstukjes tussen die niet over één van de drie vrouwen ging en toen snapte ik al helemaal niet meer waar dat over ging. Verder mooi beeldend geschreven.

A disturbing read which, as a female, left me feeling sad, angry, afraid and determined all at once. Evie Wyld weaves together the stories of three different women across three time periods to show how violence perpetrated by men against women manifests itself. From very subtle things like an unwanted tickling, to extreme violence and murder, the actions and reactions of the characters are thought provoking. So much about the way women are blamed when they are actually the victims is described by Wyld, and reminds me that there is still a long way to go in making society a safer place for women.
