While reading this story I became interested in the history of abuse in Sweden since it is such a heavy subject. Forty- six percent of women in Sweden have been subject to violence by a man, thirteen percent have been subject to sexual assault outside of a sexual relationship, and ninety- two percent of those who were victims of some assault never reported it to the police. Its interesting that the author would choose such a subject for his book, it turns out, the author once witnessed a gang rape of a woman from his friends at the time. Its a very strong subject that I had absolutely no idea existed.
