alomie 's review for:
The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices
by Xinran
challenging
dark
emotional
medium-paced
Non-fiction so no rating, this is a brutal book. Not at all for the faint of heart.
It was actually physically tough to read, and I had to stop and take a moment several times.
Abuse, torture and general mistreatment of women in this made me sick and angry and also sad.
It was informative, but I'm not sure I needed the detail in parts, I don't this I could read this again, it was really full on.
