I still gave it 4 stars because the complexity of the story and beautifully compiled book were able to override my squeamishness of the subject matter. CT highlighted the things that people put in place of love. ![]() Looking back, I think I just wanted more beauty and love and so much of it was filth (actual cess pools, not moral filth, fyi), anger and hatred and ugliness. ![]() ![]() Again, just not at all what I expected in this book. Shocking also was the castration and emasculation, the abandonment and the things she had to do just to eat. imagine my shock when they head to the big city and there are trucks and skyscrapers! It was a little jarring, but maybe I missed something earlier on that indicated the time period.īut wait, there are harems! Are there still harems around like what we imagine an Arab brothel to be like? I'm not sure, actually, maybe someone can enlighten me. ![]() I don't know exactly what I was expecting as far as the actual story went, but that wasn't it.įor a good portion of the book, I thought it took place hundreds of years ago. I followed CT's blog where he would post gorgeous pics of it while in progress.Īnd it is an extremely beautiful book, from cover to artwork to lettering. I was really, really looking forward to reading this before it was published. ![]()
