This book took me a while to finish. The material is compelling and horrifying, given that it's based on actual historical events. However, the execution is less compelling, being that the narrative is in past tense and varies between two characters (one of which is a prig). Although I was horrified by what Cot went through, I felt no personal connection to her and therefore had to push myself to get through it. I think this is a good jumping-off point for exploring this point in history, but otherwise it's not a great book.
