These are shocking short stories about mistreated women. Relentlessly, Maraini writes about various violent and sexual abuse to women in Italy. Even though this is written as fiction, it is unfortunately God's truths, which happen far too often in Europe, but also in all other parts of the world. There are grievances, which usually remain anonymous, people look away and the victims, psychically caught in their misery, can not resist.
Unfortunately, it also shows that these women are often not believed, especially when the offender is an 'important' personality or someone with money. Neither the police nor the courts are behind the victim. The investigations in these cases are often performed only superficially.
The story about the show more sexually abused children made me very sad and angry. I had great difficulty reading it to the end.
Maraini writes clearly and directly without something to gloss over. show less
