Luin tämän muutama kuukausi sen jälkeen kun minut huumattiin baarissa. Väkivalta ei tasoltaan ole tietenkään sama, mutta Louis kuvailee väkivallan jälkeistä aikaa tavalla, jota en tiennyt ollenkaan mahdolliseksi. Tuntui siltä, niin kuin lukisin omasta elämästäni tapahtumia seuranneen parin kuukauden ajalta. Tunne oli niin vapauttava, alistava, traumaattinen kuin katarsista.
Louis on ensimmäinen kirjailija, jonka tyyli on melko ajatuksenvirtamainen, josta tykkään. Kieli on kaunista ja tekee kuvauksista entistäkin riipivän.

Okay so it was a good read; beautifully written, somewhat tenacious at times (especially the beginning). It was very hard to get into. I didn't get why the sister told most of a story she hasn't even lived herself. I got that she told the story from her pov and bringing light to the childhood that shaped her brother his interaction with his environment en the relationship he has with himself, but tbh i didn't feel this. I also felt like the ending was kinda meh. And considering the topics covered in this book (which are horrendous) didn't make me cry whatsoever tells a lot too I guess.
