After We Were Stolen

Christine Bruce

I'm sure that in the right frame of mind, this would be a thrilling and intense read. However, I couldn't stomach the cult aspects, or the child abuse. As a result, I had to DNF this read at 16%. I've rated it reflecting what I have read, and to be honest the writing style is very lovely and immersive. 
I think because of Beyfuss's skills at the keyboard, the book was just too intense for me at this time. I couldn't stomach the rape (be aware, there is at least 1 off screen rape potentially more, or the implication at 16% is the parents intend to have the Main Character raped ore often) let alone the intense depiction of isolation and terror. 
However, 16% is just not enough to give an accurate rating.
