Beautiful writing but my goodness... talk about main character syndrome!

The protagonist is insane and sooo out of pocket. But that’s the point, I think ?

Didn’t expect a fictional book about a woman leading a UN de-radicalisation programme for ISIS brides would turn out to be the funniest thing I’ve read all year !

N2S: Jung's Collected Works #9A

Loved the start then they lost me mid way. Got to disk 5
