Jordan’s Reviews > The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek > Status Update

Not even 40 pages in, and our heroine has already been raped, beaten, and sexually assaulted by two different men. I don't want fiction to pretend that women are never victims, because that's not realistic. But it's TOO prevalent for me, especially used as lazy "growth" writing. I've been looking forward to this book for quite a while, but if things don't turn around, I'mma have to dnf this one.
