Book in a very new way. Gripping. I knew nothing of the book before a tube ad in London a few months ago. Got a copy from the library and wow. The plot is complicated and at the same time not. Like we all know the whole time what is right and wrong and also you can follow the justification turning into “truth”, what ever that is, and feel uncomfortable with going along with the justification. Ahhh so good.
Graphic: Cultural appropriation
Moderate: Rape
Minor: Deportation
