Mehso-so

This is the author's personal confession, it is a very difficult, sad and haunting story - prostitution, rescuing girls from slavery, providing shelter and basic education, corruption at all levels, threats, extortion ... but ... the book is so poorly written that despite the importance of the topic, the language overshadows the content. Unfortunately. #ReadingAsia2021 #Cambodia

Librarybelle That is a shame, given the important topic. But, another country read for the challenge! 4y
Simona @Librarybelle That is true ... but I‘m still sad 😔 4y

Words cannot describe the betrayal of discovering that the tiny white grubs found in the cupboard seem to have originated in a bar of high-end gingersnap chocolate. 😱😩
