This book is insipid. First of all, I don't want to read the perceptions of a 4 year old and secondly, the author didn't even get it right ... 4 year olds are not tiny adults.
And who gets beaten one day by a maid or a mother and is all enamored with that person the next day? There is a wealth of emotion between being beaten and all forgiven that the author chose to not tell us.
And what about the lesbian experience? Why is it just hinted at instead of revealed in real emotions?
