This book was very informative and it connected many dots, inviting us, the readers, to her "ordinary" life - I am sure that the word "ordinary" cannot be defined and if it should be, it is the essence of the subject herself. Nonetheless, it is highly recommended to read this book, together with her last book, as such an experience will take you to the deep into the heart of those who suffer. Now, she many times questions the usage of the word "victim" and insists that she is not one of them, at least conceptually. I am not a rape victim, but I am a victim of physical violence and bullying at school. I am also a "victim" of mental illness (I cannot function without the medications). I think in this book, although she despises the usage of the word "victim" as an attribute or a quality of herself, I think this book shows she is now able to separate the "victimhood" from "her ordinary/essential self" - this is just my own opinion, but I don't think there is anything wrong to be "a victim" - in fact, there are many ethical problems only "the victims" can contribute to solve, I believe. In anyway, this book made me understand a little better what she is like and who she is - an ordinary person who has her conviction deeply rooted in her mind. This book was very human and very honest. The side that was not seen in her previous book. I am very happy to read this book and I am happy that she is living an "ordinary" life after conquering many obstacles. I am currently working on the paper on these topics she is dealing with, and this book was truly illuminating in that sense. Very helpful. Very educational.
