A lovely read. Likely relatable for anyone who has been treated as an “other” (it was for me, at least) and there are parallels in the real world for such “orphanages” — the group homes that disabled children are placed in are similar. Run mainly by non-disabled people, not understanding the needs of the children who live there…
Moderate: Child abuse, Confinement, Emotional abuse, and Genocide
