 "It isn't just taking a life that destroys a people. It's taking their history."

This book was amazing! I was captivated by the storyteller's hypnotic prose in this Baba Yaga Russian fairy tale retelling from beginning to end. I thought the theme of generational trauma and memory was very prevalent with regard to how people are being educated in schools today.
