Description
The (male) author devotes a whole chapter in the second half of the book to gang rape of the main character. The chapter is very detailed, describing the sensations and thoughts of the teenager as she is assaulted by a group of men. Worthy of note is the emphasis which the author places on the darkness of the rapists' hands in comparison to the white skin of the main character.
