informative fast-paced

I think the french translation has some problems. But that’s a good book for anyone who need some answers about themselves or about someone close to them who is part of the lgbtq community

WoW. Déjà je tiens à préciser que je n’ai jamais lu le poème original (le pourrai-je maintenant?) et donc même en lisant le résumé, je ne savais pas trop dans quoi j’allais me lancer. Et c’est sûr que je ne m’attendais pas à ça. D’abord un livre que j’ai eu du mal à lire. Un livre qui parle d’inceste, de viol, de violence faite aux femmes, de vengeance, d’avortement, de mort, de meurtre… et le tout en étant assez graphique (surtout dans la description de la décomposition du corps). 
Un texte fort, poignant et violent qui ne passe pas par Quatre Chemins. Les vérités sont dites, l’histoire est écrite, la condition des femmes est évoquée. 
Un texte qui prend au tripes et dont l’écriture magnifique ne vous laissera pas de marbre

I wished the word lesbian was used in this book (at least it’s not in the french version). But this book is still very relatable, I mean, I myself, discovered that I’m a lesbian only late in my life. 
So yes, a good book, with light and beautiful drawings

Some things made me feel off about the books. 
But it’s still a great book, a short and impactful one. 
The author uses Jewish history to talk about the queer community, and it makes sense
I think queer people need to read this. It’s an important book
