I wasn't sure how horrific this was gonna be when I started reading. Woah. So layered and so darkly upsetting.

Amazingly done. Exceptional! Gets you right inside the horrific obscenity that is patriarchal monotheism.

I adore the ending. It scents like a kind of justice...

That was creepy. Set it in Afghanistan, and that is life for women there now.

You force someone to lock that much darkness inside that long, it's going to come out eventually. Usually in a less massacre-y way, but still.
