Monica Byrne bursts on to the literary scene with an extraordinary vision of the future. …

A brutally honest journey novel

5 stars

Trigger warning: This book touches on almost all the way old cultures, meaning patriarchies, have devastated women.

This is an amazing book. It starts out with two women characters, unflinching in their inner thoughts. Then it moves into a tough journey novel. From there it gets even more brutal in its honesty.

But it is so cathartic. The characters investigate themselves in ways I hadn't imagined for myself.
