Helpful Score: 1

This book was absolutely heartbreaking. I liked it because it was a window into a culture about which I know very little, but much like in Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," I kept getting angry at the author for NEVER letting her characters catch a break. The tone seems hopeful, but there's such a deep distrust and hatred of men throughout that the whole book can be summed up with the quote, "Women create and men destroy. The way of the whole world." I don't recommend this book if you're going through a dark emotional time, but it should be required reading otherwise.
