Hunger

a Memoir of (my) Body
Aug 30, 2017ladyparasol rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
I had to put this book down several times in reading it. It is so raw I felt like I was invading the author's privacy - except that it all happened to the author. But I just had to look away. While I thought of not finishing the book, in the end I read it all. You learn right away (if you didn't already know) that she was gang raped at a young age. At the end I wondered if the boy that led her to the cabin to be gang raped knows about the book, knows that he is described (though not named) as an adult in the present time. I hope he does and is waiting for the "the other shoe to drop" as I can't believe this is the end of the story. And there is always the question - did they rape more than one little girl? While the book was hard to read by the end I wanted more - I want him and the other boys to pay for their crime.
