This book was all the rage when it was published last year. It wasn't something I would normally read so I put in a reservation for it at my local library - I was the 17th in line for the book, and I got it the day after my last exam for uni. The title means someone who washes the dead that no one else wants to wash - mostly women who have been cast out by society.

This was a tough book to read, although it only took me two days. It tells the story of a little girl, Frmesk, who are born into a family who does not want another girl. To be fair, the violence in this books makes it almost unbearable to read. With so much violence against women in the world today, I read mostly to escape from all that, but there was no escape in this book. Nevertheless, it was a good and important read.
