dark emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced

3.0

While this is a vitally important story, and an incredibly inspiring one, there was something about the writing that didn't quite do it justice. I think it likely came down to the fact that it's translated from the original French, but there was just something about it that felt almost robotic. I stuck it out because I was fascinated by the little girl who was the subject of the book and my heart broke for her, and because I think it's important to be aware of experiences like this one rather than pretending they don't exist because we might not see them every day in our own society. It was worth the time I spent, but the translation did make it feel a bit lacking.
