Reviewed by CeliaEin ausgesprochen kraftvoller und authentischer Roman, der mir ganz schön ans Herz gegangen ist. Das Buch verdient es wirklich, noch einmal in einer schöneren Fassung verlegt zu werden und in den Buchläden zu stehen. Das Thema ist nach wie vor so aktuell und viele Gedankengänge der Protagonistin sind schmerzhaft nachvollziehbar. Das Ende ist absolut traurig. Hätte ich mir denken können.
