Very well written, and a unique story.
Knocks because I don't appreciate the character development of the narrator, because although she talks about atonement and being a better person, she only makes horrible decisions and goes back to her central flaw as a person.
Graphic: Violence, Medical trauma, War, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Rape and Sexual assault
