Honestly I'm more squicked out by the "she has to have babies by the time she's 18 or be exiled" part. The whole book kind of reeks of 'Do Not Want' to me though. :I
Who the fuck would write something like this when we, as a society, are trying to stop this asinine shit from existing in literature, movies, and more importantly: in real life?
I'd have expected this from a novelist back in the sixties, because I have a novel which I refuse to read that uses derogatory terms for people of colour that was written way back then... but from a new author in this day and age?!
This is terrible. Fortunately it's only a self-published novel with no sales, so I wouldn't really want to give it any more attention than it warrants.
