Wow! I was blown away with this book. The writing is amazing, Oshetsky is a wordsmith! I can see this author winning at every word game she’s ever played. She put words together that were so simple yet so descriptive. They drew me right in, and kept me riveted to the story. And what a story it is. A young girl is being raised by her mother and aunt. Before she is old enough to enter school something horrible happens to her best friend. Something she will blame herself for throughout this book. What an incredible look at how carrying guilt and shame can take on a life of its own. Loved it!
