![]() ![]() The truth is perhaps a little more complex, predictive behaviour and a genetic disposition in culmination with the worst start in life can result in a person who rightly ends up behind bars on death row. It’s easy to lay the blame for his future behaviour and crimes at the feet of an abusive parent and an absentee one. The boy, who like many others, is born into a world of violence and depravation, and subsequently abandoned or saved. His, their truths and the facts that meet both stories in the middle. It’s a ticking clock, a timer, a revisiting of truths. The women who defined him, the women who called for his accountability, and the women who were his victims in one way or other. Narrated by the main character Ansel, the man on death row, and the women who have been a part of his life. The author weaves the complex layers of this psychological read, that veers into the literary sphere, with such expertise and detailed nuance – it is truly an indicator of a talented scribe and storyteller. It’s going to be really difficult to do this book the justice it deserves without giving too much away. I found the premise intriguing, and I wasn’t disappointed at all – this is an excellent read. I first heard about this book on Twitter a few months ago and pre-ordered a copy based on what I was hearing, then I actually bought the Audiobook too. ![]()
