A violent rape of a male victim. The Damage is the first novel I’ve read from this viewpoint. It’s a difficult topic and positively not for everybody.

The victim, the assailant, the relatives, the criminal investigator.
The messages are subtle however significant. Sibling love, Friendship, Humility, Lowliness, Mental Health, Family, Abuse, Self-image. Such countless themes are addressed in this family drama and Mystery. I found myself overcome with feelings a few times. On occasion I was pulled in to the secret being uncovered and now and again I was centered around the family drama, my concentrate regularly moving to and fro.

Also, exactly when you think you have sorted out what occurs straightaway, I guarantee you, you will not have.
