What an absolute GEM of a book. I very rarely cry, but this was just so hard-hitting that it made me feel angry, sad, hopeful and tense throughout the read. 
An eye-opening fiction telling based on happenings of our world about sterilisation of minority groups. I adored the main character Civil and I felt her character development was astounding.
