Review-Lite
because...Language is leaving me in
silence…
- Brilliant writing
- Eerie similarities between the end-of-war flu of 1918 and the coronavirus pandemic of 2020
- Troubling, touching, enraging and surprisingly tender
- Donoghue has a gift of building such strong environment that you can feel every single thing she describes – from physical, tangible things to every emotion experienced by every person in the cast. You can feel the blood, sweat tears, heat, stifling airless room, frustrations, fears, pain...
- Will women ever get equality?
- Amazing audio performance by Emma Lowe
- Can actually feel the stifling atmosphere outside the room, inside the ward and in the whole culture of female oppression
- Heavy and intense
