Um livro com uma prosa mansa, mas com temas pesados. Violência, patriarcado, abuso infantil, assédio… tantas coisas narradas como fatos corriqueiros… a estória é um tanto confusa, misturando memórias, faz de conta, traumas e desvaneios da personagem. É o primeiro livro da autora que leio e me agradou bastante!
