It's so sad. I went to bed with a heavy heart. When I think to the brother losing his hand, the kidnapping, the rape, the separation from her sister (never resolved), the slave sale, the loss of virginity against her will, the foiled attempt at escape ... perhaps the hardest aspect of this book was that hardly any of the loss experienced gets resolved. The only thing it does provide is a good style, and an eye-opening experience of how unfair and exploitative life is for millions of people. But probably not a read for my 13 year old. Not yet.Chris Jolliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673987986758778991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7273644252058508882.post-90954603199895104952010-04-20T18:25:59.531-06:002010-04-20T18:25:59.531-06:00I think a book should make you think or feel -- bu...I think a book should make you think or feel -- but not depressed! No way, especially if you are a visual person and it sticks with you for a long time. No one wants to feel like they are scraping dirt off of themselves.
