内容简介
······

One evening, eight Mennonite women climb into a hay loft to conduct a secret meeting. For the past two years, each of these women, and more than a hundred other girls in their colony, has been repeatedly violated in the night by demons coming to punish them for their sins. Now that the women have learned they were in fact drugged and attacked by a group of men from their own community, they are determined to protect themselves and their daughters from future harm.

While the men of the colony are off in the city, attempting to raise enough money to bail out the rapists and bring them home, these women–all illiterate, without any knowledge of the world outside their community and unable even to speak the language of the country they live in–have very little time to make a choice: Should they stay in the only world they've ever known or should they dare to escape?

评论 ······

Do nothing. Stay and fight. Leave……这个背景很有意思，但后面完全成了宗教和无可奈何的选择，纳闷又现实

读起来各种程度上的很累

作者的这种节奏上的生硬或许是一种风格，但是配上细碎的语言我好像喜欢不起来。

最喜欢的是交谈中“从无到有”“从模糊到清晰”的变化，离开的决心、对处境的认识、愤怒、对上帝的质疑、反叛、计划，这是一群字也不识、地图也不认得、只熟悉周遭小世界的女性从 生活经验和几乎是动物性的愤怒 出发的“革命”。就像一张白纸，忍无可忍，只是要talking，而talking本身就成了一种决定性的行动。
