I was so thrilled to see that The Silence of the Girls had a sequel because I loved it so much. I'm not sure about this one, though. The writing felt very different and I don't know if it's because it is or because it wasn't the right book for me to read at this moment.

I'm just conflicted about this one. I wanted to know more about the women, but I felt like it was still rather focused on men. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it felt like everything was dragging. I feel bad even writing this review because there's no doubt that Pat Barker is an amazing writer, but there's no denying how I felt while reading.
