Extremely traumatic, gut-wrenching, and moving. I find it hard to truly rate this book. It’s a story that needs to be told, but one that’s uncomfortable and near impossible to consume. The difficulty of the prose and complexity of the characters reflects the gritty reality of this history. It will leave your heart heavy and grim. Not for the faint of heart, but the stories depicting the true horrors of Western intervention & imperialism will never be easy to digest.
