Title: No Stars
Product review: I found this book so presumptuous, so insidious and so infuriating that the minute I was finished with it, I took it outside and set fire to it in my backyard. I've never burned a book before or since but She's Come Undone made me so angry that I couldn't stand the thought of having it in my home. I also didn't want to give it away or donate it anywhere because I didn't want anyone else to have to read it.I think that my real issue with this book was appropriation of voice. Having lived through a similar experience to Dolores, I was initially amazed by Lamb's insight into the situation but as the story went on, I started to see that he didn't really get it at all. In the end, there's no joy, no recovery, no true self-discovery, just sighing acceptance of Dolores' crappy lot in life. What does this say to other survivors of rape? It says "Why bother trying to make yourself better if this is where you end up?" Thanks!
