Why read it?

1 author picked Toto Among the Murderers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I write about violence against women, because I think it’s important and overlooked. Toto Among the Murderers takes place in the north of England in the late 70s and early 80s, when the country was shadowed by the presence of multiple serial killers. It sounds dark, right? But this is a paen to young womanhood, to the fun and freedom that can be inhabited even within the constraints of a world that, too often, allows women to be harmed. 

From Jessica's list on reimagining women’s lives.
