A tough read, but decently written. The author doesn’t descend too far into Manon’s consideration for the plight of the enslaved and her contribution to the depravity, which was a little frustrating. The pace was well-timed and bits were rather eloquent. The ending left much to be desired, and had me feeling a bit like “what’s the point?”
