Jenna Tang's translation of Lin Yi-Han's novel provides a unique and painful reading experience, detailing the impact of sexual abuse and power dynamics in Taiwan.
The book offers a damning vision of sexist double standards, victim-blaming, and power imbalances within Taiwanese society, examining the effects of manipulation and coercion in relationships.
Lin powerfully illustrates how the protagonist, Fang Si-Chi, rationalizes her abuse by convincing herself that she loves her abuser to avoid facing the horror of the situation.
