Enjoyed this memoir. For many years and now, women have been silenced about menstruation. It’s amazing to have a work filled with personal anecdotes from across the world. Reading this felt like I was being understood, and it felt like a safe haven

He is the stranger, the monster, and he get's convicted for being himself. This emotionless, souless man. And later he decides to accept that. I love the ending, his encounter with the priest, we get a raw side of him.
