This is a novella showing how the crimes of history are far closer to us than we think they are; all we need to do in order to discover them is simply step out of line. The Frankfurt Book Fair's censorship of this excellent novel only bolsters the horrifying but all too expected truth it holds about sexual violence in service of colonisation and genocide.
