1.5
memory, lloyd and their relationship are fleshed out and surprisingly complex, but the multitude of characters in the prison dont get the same treatment, and after a while it becomes a blur keeping tabs on who's who. nevertheless, the language and writing are good and fit the story, and the book does get considerably better and gripping in the last 20%, but by then it was too little too late. overall, the book's setting is indeed a unique one in english language lit, but as a novel it leaves quite a bit to be desired.
Graphic: Racism and Racial slurs
Moderate: Child death, Suicide, Outing, Violence, Homophobia, and Colonisation
Minor: Murder, Child abuse, and Infidelity
