Pigs by Johanna Stoberock

4.0

Such a fascinating little novel. Pigs serves as a commentary on consumerism and how we readily discard things and people when we decide they've lost their value. I loved Stoberock's writing and how she crafted her characters, and the fact that the centralmost child needed glasses? As someone who's nearsighted like Luisa, I appreciated the way her vision impairment was captured. I wanted to know a bit more about the island itself—or rather, the adults living there and abusing the children—but I found the ending oddly satisfying.
