Hagar grows up in a brutal, suffocating home and runs from it straight into the brutality of the world outside; the episode in Eilat is just one link in a chain of betrayal, coercion and people choosing not to see. Written as 336 sonnets that add up to a full novel, the book traces a life that begins with abuse within the family and continues on a cruel, strange path, the trauma of one woman standing for that of many.
