Nobody‘s Gril is a memoir to Virginia Guiffre. She is a survivour of sex trafficing by the Jeffrey Epstein system. The book talks about her history and the abuse she experienced in her life.
I began reading the book because i wanted insight of how it is as a victim and the system she suffered from.
I am currently about a fith through the book and sometimes it is hard to continue. The immense suffering and pain she went through her whole life makes me incredebly sad and at the same time disgusted and angry by the actions of abusers to the point where i regularly have to pause reading and process what i have read.
I am relatively new to reading books and i‘m thinking if this something that happens to you people as well?
Have you read or started reading the book? How are you doing/processing it?
I’ve experienced this with other books, and I’d only like to point out, or maybe remind you, that needing time to sit with what you’ve read means it’s actually having an impact. If you were instead coming here saying “it was a real page turner, I flew through it” I would probably think you’re either a creep or so desensitized to the suffering of others that you have lost your empathy. Letting myself have a hard time getting through books like this helps me remind myself I’m human.
This is a very good point, yes. Thank you for your insight.
