A harrowing book and glad to have listened to it –the writing style alone captured such depth of emotion and heartache in such a short book – incredibly written.

Each of the women’s stories felt unique and broke my heart to hear about their struggles with patience – which in this context just means to be submissive to their partners abuse and emotional torment as Muslims in Cameroon – and how they intwined with one another.

The story of Hindou being beaten and abused into a state on numbness and questioned sanity was for me the most devastating.

An incredibly powerful read about, unlike anything I have read before and will be keeping an eye out for a physical copy as I can see myself reading again!
