Description
Cassandra Debosphorus comes from an underprivileged family living in an economically deprived neighborhood.
When she is raped, her whole life begins to fall apart at the seams. The perpetrator comes from a wealthy and influential family, so she has to fight for justice while facing social prejudice and relentless intolerance.
However, Cassandra does not conform to the narrative of gender, class or stereotype that has been established for her.
After Cassandra suffers numerous tragedies related to her attack, she takes matters into her own hands to balance the scales, with tragic consequences.
The concepts of love, sex, violence and morality are explored here in this book as Cassandra tries to come to terms with the aftermath of the attack.
Ostensibly, this is a story about one woman's struggle, but it's also a sharp examination of the human experience and the question - how far would you go for revenge?
