I really liked the build up of understanding the culture and then seeing what would go on within a brothel and the interaction made with others as well through slavery. The way everything is poetically transcribed really paints more of a picture of the life of one who becomes a slave. It was an excellent book!!! It is however triple spaced and very easy to read in a day (which is what I did). I am guessing this was a fictional piece created basing the lives of the slave girls the author interviewed. She really had to do her research well to write such a great book. I was able to learn a lot from it. I truly hope that people come across it and are able to learn about human trafficking/modern day slavery. This is a great way to spread awareness. I could hardly put the book down!
