This book takes the victim of the rape in Disgrace and makes her a character in her own right during the #metoo movement.

I was very "in my head" when I started this book. Would it make me hate Disgrace? How did a rape happen, a book get publish and a Booker prize get awarded all in 2 years? Did this or that really happen in Disgrace? (I'd read it so long ago.)

So before I pushed through I re-read Disgrace. Phew. Didn't hate it. And then I recognized what I was reading --- a WHAT IF? What if Disgrace had come out during the #metoo movement? And I got out of my head and enjoyed the ride.

This was a really interesting look at all the topics associated with #metoo, plus moral dilemmas like, who's story is it to tell? Can a male author truly understand what it is to be raped? And do two wrongs make it right? (Of course not.)

The end was genius. There were some truly funny passages, and I'd like to believe that despite some important messages, perhaps a little bit of fun was being poked at the extremes people go to in their quests for "wokeness."
