Ioanna Opidee"Author Ioanna Opidee wrestles with sexual assault and its aftermath in an arresting, timely way. The novel, set in Boston and a village on a Greek island, follows Greek-American Irinie Pothos through her on-campus attack and the reckoning that follos, shining light on not just the extremes of violence, but the more subtle and insidious indignities and inequalities around us. In Rinie, Opidee has given us a sensitive protagonist who walks the uncomfortable, universal line between alienation and acceptance. The book offers a look at what it takes to put the shards back together after a shattering, showing not that it's easy, or fast, but possible." -- Nina Maclaughlin "Boston Globe" Read More Read Less
