“I do not support the glamorization of murder but I do support the empowerment of women” in book form.
I am a shell of a person. I can tell loads of this was inspired by true war events and if you enjoy history you will love that. However, it does not shy away from detailing gruesome depictions - please read content warnings before reading.
Also, for a book about suffering, it had me laugh way more than I expected.
