The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel That Scandalized the World by Sarah Weinman

dark informative medium-paced

4.0

Several tragedies are interwoven in this look at a crime that parelled the novel Lolita. Sally Hornerr's kidnapping and rape, her early death,  and it's inspiration of a novel that is repeatedly misinterpreted to celebrate sexualization of young girls. The research to recapture Sally's story and determine what really happened is both compelling and heartbreaking.
