Description

The book takes place in a severely patriarchal and misogynistic fictional society. The protagonist and many others like her are considered impure based on the in-world religion, and people use that impure status as a justification to harass and assault them. These so-called impure people are all teen girls and the people targeting them are mostly adult men.
