the alternating narratives were a little hard to follow.
WARNING: There are scenes of child abuse, with a single alcoholic mother beating her two daughters with a belt buckle.
Characters in the book:
Emma, older sister, who tries to protect Agathe
Agathe, 5 years younger than Emma and
Mima and Papi, grandparents
Mother of Emma and Agathe, divorced
One quote, conversation between Emma and Agathe, about their uncle: 'One can't think about nothing. Well, except for our uncle. He's lacking the essential equipment. "
"Absolutely. His brain has been reported missing."
I rate this book 3.5 stars rounded up.
