As consequências da submissão

Existem estudos que afirmam que a criança quando tem a ausência do pai, é mais suscetível a aceitar abusos durante sua vida. Esse livro de Boyne é um bom exemplo disso. Um livro difícil de ler, por ser forte e cru.
Me emocionei bastante com o final da leitura e ainda estou bastante reflexiva sobre a leitura.
Se você não gosta de livros que doem com a verdade nua e crua, esse livro não é para você.
