Really intelligently written about identity, who we really are and how to keep a sense of self even when trauma and others try to control you. Beautifully nuanced with deftly woven imagery and metaphor, this book does not try too hard in its prose. Instead, it tells the story of humanity beneath the veil of the most controlled totalitarian state of the world. Superbly moving and gripping.
