The Hideout by Melissa Tereze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I don't know many writers, who could write about such sad and controversial topic successfully.

I had to read it slowly, as, given the premise, I knew exatly where it would lead and dreaded every time I started a new section that things would go sideways within the next couple of pages ... and they did, but not the way I expected until the last third. So, yes, in a way this wasn't highly enjoyable on the emotional side, but an inredible experience of a caring and understanding approach and fantastic writing. If I was to have a say in this, I'd vote this for a 21st century classic in literature. I'll definitely buy the paper version for my top favourite shelf!
