It's hard to give a good rating to a book you desperately want to end another way, any other way. This is one of the most depressing stories I have ever read, with a look at hopeless poverty, the futility of honour, and desperate people doing horrible things to other desperate people. There are no happy endings here, and I didn't expect one, but oh, I wanted one so badly. Regardless, this is a trainwreck of a book, and I mean that in the best way: you want to shield your eyes, but you can't bear to stop watching.
4/5
