With very strong characters and fantastic narration, the book was an almost delight to read technically. The writer portrayed the angst and general feeling of disappointment a woman feels when she reads or hears about yet another case of sexual abuse or rape. The language used is also quite simple and the writing is pretty fluid, crisp - the style I wish I was master at. One particular scene which stayed with me was the actual court room trial - that whole part felt surreal yet so vivid for me. The only peeve point which I had was with the length - the story however engaging it was, could have be slightly crisper which would have resulted in a lesser number of pages. I was quite apprehensive when about reading the book when the book landed as it was just big! A rarity in recent times.
Some stories consume so much of my mental bandwidth that I really cannot pen down my thoughts immediately after reading it, without launching an in depth analysis of each and every pinch point and resolution. While that might be a good thing to read for people like me, it would probably end up undermining the writer's effort where in a potential (wannabe may be) reader would be prejudiced about the book. This was one such book after a long time since the subject of the book is close to my heart just like it would be for any other woman.
Do buy the book on Amazon!
