Without warning that this book is fiction, you could believe that the terrifying story might have been real. The writing captivates imagination; emotion and mystery are immersive. Even in the end, you are left wondering what happened to the narrator and the rest of characters.
This book is also an invitation to appreciate the privileges we have nowadays, an invitation to question the rules a society might have, and an invitation to explore the immutable human conditions such as desire.

ჩემი აზრით ეს წიგნი ძალიან ბევრი რამის ლაკმუსია, სამოქალაქო აქტივიზმის ძალიან მნიშვნელოვანი მოტივატორი, ერთგვარი სახელმძღვანელოა, როგორ გადადის ძალადობის მდორე ნაკადი, უთანასწორების
