A beautiful story that has clearly taken a lot of effort and love to write. It has clearly been very well researched and is eloquently written in a way that portrays all necessary cultural details without detracting from the story itself. This isn't the kind of book I'd normally go for, however I was drawn in by the beautiful cover and I must say I'm very glad I chose to read it. The plot and the fact that a seven year old can end up in a brothel is absolutely heart breaking and truly shows a despicable side of human nature. Again I must highly commend the author for the way this book has been written to deal with these sensitive issues. Despite this being unlike the books I normally read I found myself unable to put it down and read the whole thing cover to cover in under a day! I would definitely reccomend this book and am very glad I decided to give it a go.
