Disturbing on many levels.
An exploration of how humanity might adjust to no longer having domesticated animals. It highlights the complex rituals, hypocrisies and lies we invent to convince ourselves that we are doing what is right. The natural order. The criminal and immoral. Augustina’s characters are very flawed, mostly male and patriarchal. I’m curious to read some of her other work to see if this is her style or a conscious choice. I think the story deserves at least 3.5 stars because it makes me think and causes a strong emotional response.
