This was great. I loved the way it was written, it was very unsettling and at times hard to figure out exactly what's going on. It's told from the perspective of a child, Green, who grows up in a commune. The commune is an awful place but she is raised to think it's wonderful and that the outside world is a bad place. Because she has no knowledge of the outside world, she has no idea about how bad her living arrangements are. It's quite shocking to read her flippantly talking about "hunger days", where she gets no food, or her matter-of-fact descriptions of the punishments the children receive.
