We meet our un-named narrator at the beginning of the story, and know that something bad has happened, but we don't know exactly why or how. Starting at the beginning of her story we learn about her life -- as she remembers it. Told with lyrical language, the story is at once beautiful and melancholy. Munaweera tackles subjects that are heartbreaking and taboo.
Others have mentioned, and I agree, that this would be a great book club discussion book. This book also has the most intriguing prologue I have ever read!
4 (teary!) stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a galley of this book in exchange for an honest review.
