This book's plot was wildly unlike what I had expected from its synopsis, yet I quickly grew to appreciate its lyrical telling and off-putting story. Ultimately this is a tale of women made outcasts not only by a tyrannical society but by their acts of vengeance to spite it. Their fates are described with a mysterious nature that continues to the last page, and provided more questions than answers. There wasn't a point where I felt I fully understood what was happening, but I enjoyed my reading experience nonetheless.
