The history of the scandal based on real events in the religious community of Bolivia, which became the basis of the Hollywood film.
One evening, eight Mennonite women gather in the barn for a secret meeting.
For two years, they were demons at night to punish them for sins at night. But when it turns out that bruises, abrasions and traces of violence are the work of not satanic forces, but living men from their community, women are faced with a choice: to stay in a world outside of which they are not familiar with, or to escape to save themselves And your daughters?
This is a completely new prose, not like novels, familiar to the reader, not like novels about violence and not like the novels known to us about violence against women.
The plot is based on real events: the mass rape, which women of the Mennonitic colony of Manitoba in Bolivia were subjected to from 2004 to 2009. But to tell about them, Tavez resorts to completely unexpected techniques. The narrative is not a woman, but a man, a man who has not taken part in attacks, is conducted by a man, a man who was asked by the victims of violence about this.
The narrative that a man leads shows how women undergoing violence refuse to play the role of victims - on the contrary, they are strong, they are able to subordinate the situation to their will and are able to save and forgive those who need their help. ” - Olga Braininger, translator, writer
